The Cambridge student got involved in drama at the same time, co-founding a theater group known as Talking Tongues; she co-wrote, co-directed and co-starred in the productions. Some of the Talking Tongues' works were performed at the Edinburgh Festival, and in 1991, Rachel won a student drama award for a play she wrote and starred in.
Rachel got her first big break in a theater production of Noel Coward's Design for Living, for which she received the Evening Standard Award for Best Newcomer. She then moved to television, where she starred in the 1993 made-for-TV movie Dirtysomething and the BBC miniseries The Scarlet and the Black. She then appeared in the series Inspector Morse in 1993, and in the made-for-TV movies White Goods and Seventeen in 1994.
With nothing more than television roles to her name, Rachel was cast as a junior executive in the science-fiction film Death Machine in 1995.
But her big breakthrough came in 1996, when she was cast in Bernardo Bertolucci's stunning coming-of-age film, Stealing Beauty. Although the film's star was Liv Tyler, Rachel Weisz still managed to steal a bit of the spotlight as Miranda Fox, a snobbish artist's daughter.
