Saffron Dominique Burrows was born on New Year's Day, 1973, into a politically charged household. Her parents were active socialist-feminists who had Saffron distributing flyers and attending rallies throughout her childhood. Young Saffron even had to share her house with striking miners. Somehow, though, all of this translated into a successful modeling and acting career.
At age 15, Burrows was discovered in London's Covent Garden, by the same scout who had discovered Naomi Campbell. An impressive modeling career in France and England ensued, with several major companies building on her precocious looks. However, by the age of 17, Saffron sought something more fulfilling and decided to return to her childhood love of acting.
In 1993, she won her first movie role in the drama, In the Name of the Father, which introduced her to Daniel Day-Lewis, whom she dated for a few years. Making steady progress in her career, Burrows won her first major part in 1995's Circle of Friends. |
