Irish Actress Coming Up Roses....Or Triffids

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Irish Actress Coming Up Roses....Or Triffids

Jean Murray is a mere 23 years old, but has already been nominated for an Irish Film and Television Award (IFTA) for her debut film role.

The Trinity College Dublin graduate starred in "Dorothy," playing a girl with multiple personality order accused of trying to murder a baby.

Her performance was compared to Edward Norton's in "Primal Fear."

She'll next appear in the remake of "Day of the Triffids," a science fiction film about killer plants, with such stars as Dougray Scott and Jason Priestly.

Though Vanessa Redgrave is in the film, Murray was disappointed not to get to share any scenes with the veteran. She says she's looked up to Redgrave for a long time.

Regardless of the outcome of this week's IFTAs, it looks like Jean Murray has only good things ahead of her.
