The next nine years were spent in and out of foster care and children's homes. During that time, she attended West Bridgford Comprehensive School and joined the Central Junior Television Workshop when she was 13, soon being offered small-screen roles in Soldier Soldier and Boon.[1]
Under the effects of drugs, she threatened an older girl who had been bullying her. She was convicted of making threats to kill and served 18 weeks in an attendance centre.[9]
Career
Beginnings (1991–1998)
After joining
Further television roles followed, including parts in period dramas such as Emma and Jane Eyre. Emma was a film adaptation of the novel of the same name published in 1815 about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The movie received largely positive reviews from critics and was broadcast in late 1996 on ITV, garnering an estimated 12 million viewers.[12] In Jane Eyre, Morton starred as a Yorkshire orphan who becomes a governess to a young French girl and finds love with the brooding lord of the manor. Like her previous small-screen projects, the 1997 film originally aired on ITV.[13]
She took on the leading role in the independent drama

She made part of an
In the directorial debut of Jesus' Son screenwriter Oren Moverman, the war drama The Messenger (2009), Morton starred as Oliva Patterson, a widow whose husband was killed in Iraq.[78] She was drawn to the "feminine" side of the story[79] and found her part to be "one of the first characters [she has] played in a long time where [she has] felt so much in common", as her brother and stepfather both served as soldiers in the military forces.[80] Critical reception towards The Messenger and Morton was unanimously favorable,[81][82][83] with Claudia Puig of USA Today asserting that, Morton "as always, gives a subtle, excellent performance".[84] She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 14th Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards and the 25th Independent Spirit Awards.
Morton's other project of 2009 was her directorial debut, the semi-autobiographical
Hiatus and return to film (2010–2014)
Following a three-year hiatus from the screen to focus on her personal life and family, Morton returned in 2012. She provided the voice of Sola in the science fiction film John Carter, based on A Princess of Mars, which received mixed reviews and flopped at the box office.[90][91] She next played a chief of theory in the thriller Cosmopolis, directed by David Cronenberg.[92][93][94] Her role, described as "misjudged" by The Guardian,[95] earned her a nomination as Best Actress in a Canadian Film Award at the Vancouver Film Critics Circle.[96] She also served as a jury member at the 69th Venice International Film Festival in 2012.[97]
Morton was the original voice of the artificially intelligent operating system in the 2013 romantic science fiction drama Her directed by Spike Jonze, but in post-production, she was replaced by Scarlett Johansson.[98] She is, however, credited as an associate producer.[99] Morton starred in the independent drama Decoding Annie Parker (2013) opposite Helen Hunt, playing a woman with breast cancer. The film was released in limited theaters,[100][101] to mixed reviews from critics.[102] Nevertheless, Betsey Sharkey of Los Angeles Times observed that the actress "gives Parker such a humility within a warm humanity that you feel an obligation to stick with her through the mounting horrors".[103] She was awarded the Best Actress Golden Space Needle Award at the 2013 Seattle International Film Festival.[104]
Morton starred opposite
In Liv Ullmann's film adaptation Miss Julie (2014), alongside Colin Farrell and Jessica Chastain, Morton portrayed Kathleen, the fiancée of a valet (Farrell) who finds himself seduced by the daughter of an Anglo-Irish aristocracy (Chastain). The film screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and had a limited release in the UK, France and Spain.[112][113] Miss Julie rated average with reviewers,[114] but the cast received acclaim.[115] Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney thought Morton's Kathleen was "the most satisfyingly drawn character" of the film, which he considered a "ponderous, stately affair".[116]
Roles in television (2015–present)
In 2015, Morton starred as a mother in the
Morton appeared in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), a spin-off from the Harry Potter film series, with a screenplay by J. K. Rowling.[119][120] In the film, she portrayed Mary Lou Barebone,[121] the leader of an extremist group whose goals include exposing and killing wizards and witches. Fantastic Beasts grossed US$814 million at the international box office,[122] becoming Morton's most successful and widely seen film.[123]
She filmed the three-part television crime drama
Beginning in 2017, Morton has starred in the
In July 2018, it was announced that Morton had been cast in the role of Alpha in The Walking Dead, making her first appearance in February 2019. Alpha is the villainous leader of the Whisperers, a mysterious group of survivors of a zombie apocalypse who—as a method of self-concealment—wear skins taken from the undead.[133]
Since September 11, 2022, Morton stars as
Personal life
Morton dated actor Charlie Creed-Miles, whom she met on the set of the film The Last Yellow, in 1999. They broke up when Morton was 15 weeks pregnant[136] with their daughter, actress Esmé Creed-Miles, born in February 2000.[137]
Morton met filmmaker Harry Holm (son of actor Ian Holm) while filming a music video for the band The Vitamins.[1] They had a daughter[1] and a son, and as of 2012 lived in Monyash, Derbyshire.[117][138]
In early 2008, Morton revealed that she had been "close to death" after suffering a debilitating stroke after being hit on the head by a piece of 17th-century plaster, damaging her vertebral artery, in 2006. She was in hospital for three weeks after the incident.[7] She took an 18-month break from public life and acting to learn to walk again.[139]
In 2011, Morton wrote an open letter to her stepfather, hoping they would get back in touch after being estranged for several years. However, it was soon revealed that her stepfather had died of prostate cancer four years previously.[8]
On 20 July 2011, Morton received an honorary Doctor of Letters (DLitt) from Nottingham Trent University, "in recognition of her internationally successful acting career".[140][141][142]
Morton is a Catholic and describes herself as 'quite religious.'[143][144]
Charity work
Having been raised in the foster care system, Morton has often been active in related causes. In March 2009, Morton returned to her hometown to show her support for its children's homes and protest against the threatened closure, by Nottingham City Council, of one of the four establishments with 24 social-care staff facing redundancy.[145] In 2012, Morton showed her support for the Fostering Network's annual campaign Foster Care Fortnight,[146] and in September 2014, triggered by the Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal,[147] she discussed in a video interview the sexual abuse she experienced while in the foster care system as a child in Nottingham and that the police took no action when she reported the abuse. Morton had discussed the abuse previously while promoting the semi-autobiographical drama The Unloved, in an article for The Guardian.[148]
In 2008, she was part of the
