She was also seen that year in the BBC telefilm “The Summer House.” In 1993, she appeared in the period drama “Century” and the award-winning Merchant Ivory film “The Remains of the Day.” Her first leading role came in the live-action version of Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book.” She has starred in the independent films “Mrs. Dalloway,” “Face,” “Onegin,” “Gossip,” “Possession,” “Ripley’s Game” and “The Actors.”
