After making her feature film debut in the buddy comedy High Rolling (1977), Davis first came to prominence for her role as Sybylla Melvyn in the coming- of-age saga My Brilliant Career (1979), for which she won BAFTA Awards for Best Actress and Best Newcomer. Davis was particularly praised for her performance; Janet Maslin of The New York Times admired her for bringing “an unconventional vigor to every scene she’s in, even in a film that’s as consistently animated as this one,” while Luke Buckmaster, writing for The Guardian in 2014, commented that Davis gave “a rousing performance as bull- headed protagonist Sybylla Melvyn. The term “once in a lifetime” tends to be slapped around like a bumper sticker, but this meaty role lives up to the accolade.” Her breakthrough success continued with lead roles in the Australian New Wave films Winter of Our Dreams (1981), as a waif-like heroin addict, the drama Heatwave (1982), as a radical Sydney tenant organizer, and the thriller Hoodwink (1981), as a sexually-repressed clergyman’s wife. Of her performance in Winter of Our Dreams, Roger Ebert was of the opinion that: “Davis brought a kind of wiry, feisty intelligence to My Brilliant Career, playing an Australian farm woman who rather felt she would do things her own way. She’s wonderful again this time, in a completely different role as an insecure, distrustful, skinny street waif. [She] performs her movement magnificently.

Davis was born in Perth, Western Australia, and had a strict Catholic upbringing. She was educated at Loreto Convent and the Western Australian Institute of Technology and graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), Sydney in 1977. She has been married to actor and fellow NIDA graduate Colin Friels since 1984; the couple have a son and a daughter. The relationship was briefly in the media when an argument led to a court order against Friels – however, they remained together at that time. They live in the Sydney area of Birchgrove, New South Wales.

She had two kids together with Colin Friels, whom she was married to in 1984.

She was cast as Adela Quested in David Lean’s final film A Passage to India (1984), an adaptation of E. M. Forster’s novel, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Variety praised Davis for having “the rare gift of being able to look very plain (as the role calls for) at one moment and uncommonly beautiful at another. Likewise, The Washington Post wrote, “With makeup the color of smudged ivory, her pallor enhanced by the off-white linens she wears, Davis is daringly unattractive for a leading lady; that plainness is emphasized in the book. Davis’ neuroticism, her way of twitching and thrusting her jaw and looking up hungrily beneath the brim of her straw hat, brings to life the ravenous sexuality beneath Miss Quested’s decorous exterior.”

In 1990, she had a cameo in Woody Allen’s Alice; this was her first appearance in an Allen-directed film. The following year, she was featured in Joel Coen’s Barton Fink, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and in David Cronenberg’s adaptation of the hallucinogenic novel Naked Lunch. She returned to E. M. Forster territory in Where Angels Fear to Tread and won an Independent Spirit Award for her work as mannish woman author George Sand in Impromptu, a romantic period drama with Hugh Grant as her consumptive lover, Frédéric Chopin. Davis was especially lauded for her performance as Sand, and Hal Hinson of The Washington Post wrote, “Judy Davis makes her entrances as if she were straddling a cyclone. She doesn’t just walk in, she blows in on a torrent of extravagant self-assurance and wild temperament. Sand, who’s the locus of this blissfully high-spirited romp about the circle of writers and musicians in 1830s Paris, never does anything halfway; her life is an experiment in full-throttle, passionate immersion, and that’s why Davis is the ideal actress for the part. She’s the most atmospheric of actors, perhaps the only one around capable of streaking the screen with lightning.” She earned an Emmy nomination and her first Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film for her portrayal of a real-life Second World War heroine Mary Lindell in the CBS Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation One Against the Wind. Adrian Turner of Radio Times noted of her, “Judy Davis, one of the greatest and least “starry” actresses around, plays Lindell and shows the same sensitivity that she brought to her role in A Passage to India.”
