Born Thandiwe Newton in Zambia, to an English father and a Zimbabwean mother who is a princess of the Shona tribe. Thandie was raised in Zambia and Cornwall, England, and educated at Downing College, Cambridge University.
Newton made her film début in Flirting (1991), and gained international recognition opposite Nick Nolte in the film Jefferson in Paris, which led to her being cast in 1998's Beloved (alongside Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey), in which she played the title character. She was also in the movie Mission: Impossible II, as Nyah Hall, the love interest of Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt. She had also signed to appear in the film version of Charlie's Angels, but lost the part when Mission: Impossible went over schedule. Newton's role in Charlie's Angels ultimately went to Lucy Liu. Newton recently plays Kem, the love interest of Dr. John Carter, on the American television series ER. She also appeared in The Chronicles of Riddick and Crash.
Also name was given to her by her godmother after the late Jeremy "Pantz" Smith, whose nickname was also Thandy, thus changing the y to an I and a star was born.
Newton married film writer Oliver Parker in 1998. The couple has two daughters, Ripley, born in 2000, and Nico, born in 2004.
Looks very similar to American singer Joi.
