Tilda is her


girl’s hero


She has played everything
from the White Witch in The
Chronicles Of Narnia to the
mother of a teenage killer in
We Need To Talk About Kevin.
Oscar-winning actress Tilda
Swinton, who received the
Fellowship of the British Film
Institute this week, once even
assumed a male guise, playing
Orlando in an adaptation of
Virginia Woolf’s novel.
Accompanying her to the cel-

daughter honor, 21 (left),
whose trousers sported images
of the most androgynous star

The Stars (Are Out Tonight).

podcast. ‘I already have
a few bottles of “trainer
sherry” there. I’m
sharpening my palate.’

it says. ‘The unique flora and fauna are
managed in harmony with nature to
reflect the Prince’s commitment to
organic and sustainable principles.’
