| Biography (TMDB): | Rachel Hannah Weisz (born March 7, 1970) is an English actress. She is the recipient of various accolades, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Laurence Olivier Award, a Critics' Choice Award and a BAFTA Award. Weisz began acting in British stage and television in the early 1990s, and made her film debut in Death Machine (1994). She won a Critics' Circle Theatre Award for her role in the 1994 revival of Noël Coward's play Design for Living and she went on to appear in the 1999 Donmar Warehouse production of Tennessee Williams' drama Suddenly, Last Summer. Her film breakthrough came with her starring role as Evelyn Carnahan in the Hollywood action films The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001). Weisz went on to star in several films of the 2000s, including Enemy at the Gates (2001), About a Boy (2002), Constantine (2005), The Fountain (2006) and The Lovely Bones (2009). For her performance as an activist in the 2005 thriller The Constant Gardener, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and for playing Blanche DuBois in a 2009 revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, she won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress. In the 2010s, Weisz continued to star in big-budget films such as the action film The Bourne Legacy (2012) and the fantasy film Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and garnered critical acclaim for her performances in the independent films The Deep Blue Sea (2011), Denial (2016), and The Favourite (2018). For her portrayal of Sarah Churchill in the latter, she won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and received a second Academy Award nomination. In 2021, Weisz starred as Melina Vostokoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Widow. Weisz was engaged to filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, with whom she has a son, from 2005 to 2010.

They both smoked in a preview |
Confidence

Five different scenes, open mouths and French inhales in most of them. In one scene, she does a great exhale out of her nose. Worth watching! |
Enemy at the Gates
|

rolls her own cigarette - we see two drags - the first makes her cough - second is a nice snap inhale - both are pretty good thick exhales |
Going All the Way

Locane has one nice inhale, in close-up... [Weisz] has two smoking scenes but they only evidence minor exhales. Okay, but nothing great. |
Page Eight

[Weisz] has one scene in her apartment with a rolled cigarette. You get to see two partial exhales and one drag with a classic Weisz mini-snap/french followed by a talking exhale split up by a bad cut. [Jones] has one scene in an arthouse with a roll-up as well, you get a nice view of her lighting up and rolling as well as a well-lit nose-mouth combo exhale and some talking residual. The rest of the scene is marred by bad cuts and camerawork. Decent smoking and a pretty good movie. |

Bird takes a drag in one scene and coughs out the smoke. It's a close-up shot with a lot of visible smoke. Weisz smokes in about 5 scenes, but the lighting is below-average. |
Stealing Beauty

Liv Tyler smokes cigarettes, pot, and a cigar, but the cigarette scenes are mostly holding and are fleeting at that. You never really see anything. Pot scenes are a little better if you're into that. The cigar freaks will dig it, though -- she bites off the end of a big fat one, lights up, and even inhales. |
The Deep Blue Sea

I would suggest this may be the best ever from Rachel Weisz. Well lit, well filmed inhales including snap and french, long, abundant exhales as is her normal style. It seems all or most of her smoking scenes are done solo, it's hard to tell if that's because of the unpopularity of cigarette smoke or if the director was using her smoking to portray an aspect of her character. Sad movie, but great smoking. |
The Land Girls
|

Weisz has a scene shot at a distance with a slow exhale, McCormack has a drag and exhale, and Friel has one drag in a scene. But the last scene had all 3 lying on a bed, with Weisz taking 2 drags, and performing 2 nice french inhales. She then passed the cig to Friel who dragged and exhaled, and then passed it to McCormack who was going to drag just as the scene cut away. It was a pleasant surprise. |
The Lovely Bones
|

Sarandon chain smokes in almost every scene in which she appears, even holding one cigarette in each hand in one scene. There is also another scene near the end with another unknown actress, quite good. However, I did not see Saoirse Ronan or Rachel Weisz smoke in the version of the film I saw. |
The Shape of Things
|

One post-coital bed scene. It's clearly meant to be a joint, but other than first holding it between thumb and forefinger she smokes it like a cigarette, i.e., takes cigarette-style drags, doesn't hold it in excessively long, visible exhales, doesn't share it with the guy she's with, etc. So whether you prefer women smoking joints or cigarettes, it's easy to imagine she's accommodating it. |

Incredible smoking here. Weisz is sitting in a bathtub, smoking either a joint or a handrolled cigarette. She takes 5 inhales, which includes one double pump. With each exhale, there is a phenomenal snap inhale. Two of these snap inhales are extreme close-up shots; one of the snap inhales is a close-up profile shot. The exhales are moderately visible, but you can definitely see them; one exhale is an extreme close-up shot of a nose exhale. This is a five-star performance. |
