Considered one of Canada's finest actresses, Sarah Polley was born in Toronto on January 8, 1979. At age 6, she was cast in Disney's One Magic Christmas and was soon made a regular on the Canadian television series "Ramona." This led to the role of Sally Salt in Terry Gilliam's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

In 1994, she had a small but significant role in director Atom Egoyan's Exotica and again collaborated with him three years later, playing the paralyzed survivor of a tragic bus accident in The Sweet Hereafter, which earned Polley a Leading Actress Genie Award nomination (the Canadian equivalent of the Oscar).

Polley has made it a practice to balance her work in high-profile Hollywood roles (Doug Liman's Go and the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead) with more personal independent films, such as Guinevere, The Claim and My Life Without Me. ... - from Netflix
