Fiona Mary Shaw, CBE (born Fiona Wilson) is an Irish actress. She was born on July 10, 1958, in Country Cork and grew with three brothers, an eye surgeon father and a mother who had trained as a physicist, and had her first inkling that she might be a performer when she won a poetry recital competition, at the age of 10. She attended secondary school at Scoil Mhuire in Cork City. Her father insisted her to go to a university before drama school; once she finished studying philosophy at University College Cork, she convinced her father to pay for RADA(Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) in London and was a part of ‘new wave’ of actors to emerge from the academy.

She loves any new journey and relishes the experience of getting lost. She is ranked as the greatest actress of her generation when it comes to breadth, depth and height of emotional range, intelligence, imagination, wit and energy, as well as her sheer generosity of spirit.

She concedes her love for difficult scripts and is not frightened of hard words and gets excited by them. Her love for theatre and her involvement in the staging of plays can be clearly recognised by the time she has given to this field and her achievements. She is known for her role as Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films and her role as Marnie Stonebrook in season 4 of the HBO series True Blood (2011).She has recorded 570 poems in total, with voices from Cornwall, Northumberland, Wales, the Isle of Skye, and everywhere in between. She has worked extensively with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. She was awarded an Honorary CBE in 2001.

She had her relationship with women over the years although she had many serious boyfriends for a long time. One of her longest professional relationships was with Deborah Warner.
