Camilla Rutherford (born September 20, 1976) is an English actress and fashion model.
She was born to upper class parents of journalist father and magistrate mother in Holland Park, London. One of three daughters, Camilla attended Woodbridge School and subsequently Newcastle University where she studied maths before she pursued modeling as a career.
After experiencing success as a model, Camilla has now found her feet as an actress on stage as well as screen. Her first film roles were the Jean Seberg character in the short film "Je t'aime John Wayne" and in "Stardom"(2000) and in 2001 Robert Altman cast her as Isobel in the acclaimed hit, "Gosford Park.”
In March, 2004, as she was opening in a new play called Three Women, she commented - "I don't want to leave modeling just yet. It's great fun. Theatre, on the other hand, is terrifying. I hope I can take this experience and put it back into film work."
In July 2004 she was on the cover of the magazine launched by Annabel's nightclub, posing with Mark Birley's dogs. She was the face of Max Factor for Autumn 2004, and Links of London jewellers, and was also interviewed in The Observer. She is in the films Vanity Fair (2004) and The Freediver, which have yet to be released in the UK. She was photographed by Bryan Adams for a story in issue 6 of Zoo Magazine in 2005.
Most recently, Camilla starred in HBO's period drama "Rome" and had a role in Wes Anderson's film, "Darjeeling Limited."
Camilla was married to Rufus Abbott, PR & Marketing director, whom she met at a party in London. They were married at St George's, Camden Hill, in February 2003. They had a son called Hector. Rufus, Camilla and Hector lived in Hackney, with a second child, Maud, born in 2006. The marriage ended in 2007.
Camilla Rutherford's modeling career is currently managed by Elite+ in NYC.
