She is Embeth Davidtz.

A woman who lives in Los Angeles was seen walking through a parking lot on Thursday while she was out running errands.

Her hair was pulled back and she had light makeup on as she chatted on her cell phone. 

The artist has also starred in popular movies like Matilda, Bridget Jones’ Diary, and The Amazing Spider-Man.

Davidtz is also a familiar face on television, with appearances in shows like In Treatment, Californication, and Mad Men.

Davidtz was born in Lafayette, Indiana then moved to New Jersey and finally South Africa.

She began her acting career performing in theater in Cape Town, South Africa. In 1988, she made her film debut with a supporting role in the horror film, Mutator, followed by the TV movie, A Private Life.

Steven Spielberg saw her acting in the 1992 South African movie, Nag van die Negentiende, and was so impressed he cast her as Helen Hirsch in Schindler’s List.

Then her career took off.

In 1992, Davidtz appeared as Sheila in the movie Army of Darkness with Bruce Campbell. She followed that up in 1995 with roles in the fact-based film Murder in the First, starring Christian Slater, and the independent film Feast of July.

I was SO excited when she landed a regular part on ‘In Treatment’ back in 2008, but honestly, I think everyone really took notice when she played Anthony Hopkins’ wife in ‘Fracture’ the year before – 2007. She was absolutely amazing, and I knew right then she was going to be huge!
