GOSSIP:	Gave birth to a daughter, her second child with director Tim Burton. (December 15, 2007) Bought a $3.5 million mansion once owned by her great-grandfather, former British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. (March 25, 2006) Although her heritage may have been defined by wealth and power, Carter's upbringing was fraught with misfortune, from her father's paralysis following a botched surgery to her mother's nervous breakdown when the actress was in her teens. Perhaps the actress most widely identified with corsets and men named Cecil, Carter was for a long time typecast as an antiquated heroine, no doubt helped by her own brand of Pre-Raphaelite beauty. After playing Emma Thompson's sister in HOWARDS END (1992), Carter went on to play the love interest of Thompson's husband, Kenneth Branagh, in Frankenstein. It is rumored that Carter was one of the main reasons for the subsequent Branagh/Thompson divorce. The next woman to play Thompson's sister on film (Kate Winslet in SENSE AND SENSIBILITY) also followed that role by playing Branagh's love interest (in Hamlet). Was nominated Oscar for Best Actress for THE WINGS OF THE DOVE in 1998.
