List of Judy Davis performances

The film career of Judy Davis spans over four decades and includes credits in both film and television. Davis first garnered acclaim for her performance in the period drama My Brilliant Career (1979), which earned her two BAFTA Awards. She garnered international attention for her performance in A Passage to India (1984), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.[1]

In 1990, Davis appeared in Alice, directed by Woody Allen, followed by a supporting role in David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, as well as Joel Coen's Barton Fink (both 1991). She subsequently starred in Allen's drama Husbands and Wives (1992), which saw her nominated for the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, as well as a BAFTA for Best Actress.
