Check out Thandiwe Newton’s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
I have seen 19 of Thandiwe’s (I’ll always think of her as Thandie) films. The highest ranked I haven’t seen is Flirting.
Thandiwe/Thandie is # 858 on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon list (will they ever again update this list, it’s 15 months or so). These are the other actors on the 2020 list she has appeared with.

TIM ROBBINS The Truth About Charlie (2002)
Hey Bob, I was watching Reminiscence this morning….Newt latest movie, when it occurred to me that she was needing an UMR page. Interesting about Line of Duty…..as that is not a show that has caught my eye. Her role in Westworld seems to have put her back in the limelight….so maybe she is going to have another uptick….not bad for an actress that will be 50 next year. Tally count…3 for you and…counting…17 for me. Good information on her awards, net worth and upcoming projects.
A brief thought on The Truth About Charlie…..it just shows how hard it is to re-make a Cary Grant movie without Mr. Grant. That being said….I did not think The Truth About Charlie was not that bad…..nowhere near as good as Charade….but ok.
HI BRUCE: Thanks for the feedback. Line of Duty is huge over here in the United Kingdom and has just completed its 6th season in a long run from way back in June 2012 until – so far – May 2021.
Overall IMDB give the series comprised of 36 one-hour to 90 mins episodes a magnificent 87% rating which is indicative of the consistency of quality throughout its run.
The series has made massive stars of a couple of English TV thespians and of 63 year-old Adrian Dunbar a Northern Irish actor from Enniskillen a county near me.
By the way when your new book is on sale please ensure you flag-up prominently its availability and that you set out concise details for ordering it.
My daughter is a dab-hand at doing the latter for me but I always like to see that she has clear instructions in the matter. Meanwhile keep safe and have a good weekend.
This new page is very-highly “Voted Up” by me as ‘Newt’ is one of the most mesmerizing TV actresses that I have ever seen when I watched her in the 6 episodes of Season 4 of the now-cult procedural drama series Line of Duty that was aired in March/April 2017. It demonstrates how spellbinding her acting in that is that although her bad-cop character was purely fictional I couldn’t stop myself becoming emotional and hating her.
I have seen Newt in 3 cinematic movies: Interview with the vampire; Pursuit of Happyness; and Jefferson in Manchester. IMDB credits her with 16 acting awards and 43 noms; and Celeb Net Worth site assesses her current net worth as $15 million.
Newt has 2 projects awaiting release both thrillers-
All the Old Knives in which she shares billing with Chris Pine.
God’s Country [shot in Virginia?] in which Newt is the top-billed lead star.
Well done Work Horse in letting us have this profile of a wonderful black English actress; her Zimbabwean mother Nyasha is from the Shona tribe there and her dad is a Brit, Nick Newton. The family lived out there until political unrest drove them out. Any loss she still feels is our gain as away from the mega-stars of the movies they don’t come any better or more talented than Newt.
