Samantha Morton
Samantha Morton, born in Nottingham, is the third child of Pamela and Peter Morton, with Polish/Irish ancestry. After her parents’ divorce in 1979, she lived with her father until age eight, when she became a ward of court due to her parents’ inability to care for her and her siblings. Her father was abusive, while her mother was in a violent relationship with her second husband, leading her to never return home.
The following nine years were marked by placements in foster care and children’s homes. During this period, she attended West Bridgford Comprehensive School and joined the Central Junior Television Workshop at 13, securing roles in shows like Soldier Soldier and Boon.
In an incident influenced by drug use, Morton confronted a bully, resulting in a conviction for making threats to kill. She served 18 weeks in an attendance centre as a consequence.

Despite facing setbacks including health issues and rejection by Harvey Weinstein (Samantha Morton says Harvey Weinstein tried to destroy her career after she rejected his misogynistic movie called her Unf—able), Morton’s talent propelled her to success, earning Oscar nominations and critical acclaim.
Her personal struggles fueled her work, including directing “The Unloved,” reflecting her experiences in the care system. Despite the challenges, Morton remains grateful for her mother’s love and strength, acknowledging the complexities of their relationship.
