Rachel Griffiths

Rachel Anne Griffiths (born 18 December 1968) is an Australian film and television actress known primarily for her roles in films and television. Among her many notable roles, she is particularly well known for her portrayal of Brenda Chenowith in the TV series Six Feet Under (2001–2005) and Sarah Walker on the ABC primetime drama Brothers & Sisters (2006–present). Her work in film and television has earned her a Golden Globe award, two Screen Actors Guild awards, two Australian Film Institute awards and many more.
Griffiths was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, the daughter of Anna, an art teacher and arts/education consultant, and Edward Griffiths. She grew up in Melbourne with her mother and two older brothers. After earning a Bachelor of Education degree in drama and dance at Victoria College, Rusden, she began her career as a member of Woolly Jumpers, a community theatre group. She had her first success as the creator and performer of Barbie Gets Hip, which played at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 1991.
Griffiths and Toni Collette were relative unknowns when they were cast as best friends and fellow outcasts in the 1994 film Muriel's Wedding. Her performance won her critical acclaim and both the Australian Film Critics Award and the Australian Film Institute Awards for Best Supporting Actress. She followed this triumph in 1996 with the role of an earthy, ill-mannered pig farmer's daughter in Michael Winterbottom's Jude.
In 1997, Griffiths sparked a controversy after attending the opening of the Crown Casino topless and uninvited, her stated reasoning being the protest of the views taken by the media and state government towards the new casino, and inspired by the story of Lady Godiva.
Griffiths joined forces again with Muriel's Wedding director P. J. Hogan for her American film debut, My Best Friend's Wedding, in 1997. That same year she starred in My Son the Fanatic, a British film in which she portrayed a tough Yorkshire prostitute who becomes involved with a considerably older Pakistani taxicab driver (played by Om Puri).
Griffiths received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of real-life flautist Hilary du Pré opposite Emily Watson as her sister, famed cellist Jacqueline "Jackie" du Pre, in Hilary and Jackie (1998). She then appeared in 2001's Blow, opposite Johnny Depp and Ray Liotta.
In 2001, Griffiths was cast as one of the leads in Six Feet Under. Her performance as emotionally scarred massage therapist Brenda Chenowith earned her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards, as well as two Emmy Award nominations. In the third season, she missed four episodes due to her first pregnancy. Her second pregnancy was written into the show's final season and she appeared in almost every episode of the series.
As of 2009, she is part of the ensemble cast, co-starring alongside Sally Field, Calista Flockhart, Balthazar Getty and Matthew Rhys, of the dramatic series Brothers & Sisters, in which she portrays Sarah Walker Whedon, who inherits control of the family business after her father's death. Griffiths received a 2007 Emmy nomination and a 2008 Emmy nomination for her work on the series. Griffiths received 2008 and 2009 Golden Globe nominations for her work on Brothers & Sisters. Additionally, she appeared as "Inez Scull" in the 2008 mini-series adaptation of Larry McMurtry's Comanche Moon.
Griffiths married Australian artist Andrew Taylor on 31 December 2002 in Gardenvale. They have two children, son Banjo Patrick (born 22 November 2003, Melbourne) and daughter Adelaide Rose (born 23 June 2005, Los Angeles, California). By dint of her birth in California, Adelaide Rose Taylor has dual United States/Australian citizenship. On January 16, 2009, Griffiths' rep announced that she was pregnant with her third child. On June 21, 2009, it was announced that Griffiths and Taylor had welcomed a baby girl, whom they have named Clementine Grace.

Sarah Walker

Sarah Walker, is the firstborn Walker child. A businesswoman in the family business and a mother of two young children, Sarah often struggles to balance her personal life with the duty of being a mother and a wife. Being the oldest of the family, she's very close with all of her siblings – even though she had trouble working with her brother Tommy at Ojai Foods because of his competitiveness.
Sarah attended the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and holds an MBA.
Like the rest of the Walker family, Sarah was shocked at her father's sudden death. She was the first to later discover that he was an embezzler, having stolen money from the pension fund company. In his will, her father William designated her as the company's new president, a position Tommy felt should have been his. Sarah tried her best to keep the family company afloat.
At the same time she was dealing with her personal life, she discovered that her father had had a long affair with mistress Holly Harper which produced a daughter, Rebecca. At that point only she and her brothers Kevin and Tommy knew about her. Fortunately, Sarah, Tommy and Kevin later discovered that their father had bought land worth millions of dollars; the company was saved. William had a last surprise for her; he had made Holly one of the major shareholders of his company. Much to Sarah's displeasure, Holly decided that she wanted to be an integral part of the company instead of selling the shares. This created tensions within the company until Holly decided to leave to create her own winery. Much to Sarah's surprise, Tommy decided to quit as well and became Holly's business partner.
Sarah's relationship with her husband Joe was also strained due to her being a businesswoman and the fact that Joe is a homemaker. This led them to therapy to help reconnect, which ultimately would not succeed. Their daughter Paige was later diagnosed with diabetes.
Sarah finds out that Rebecca and Joe kissed, putting their marriage under further damage. Joe admits that he has started to date his ex- wife, Paula. Joe suddenly announces he wants full custody of the children. The judge grants him full temporary custody. Paige runs away to her grandmother's, and Joe agrees to go to shared custody.
Sarah has a flirtatious relationship with Graham Finch, a specialist working with Ojai Foods. She calls it quits on the relationship after the bad deal they worked on almost killed the family business. Although it was not actually her who signed off the deal, it was Saul. The only way to recover Ojai Foods was to merge with Holly and Tommy's business.
When it's revealed that Rebecca is not her half sister, Sarah shows her the baby picture she found believing it to be Rebecca. She's shocked to discover that the baby is not Rebecca and there could be another half sibling out there. It all relates back to the password her father had set up using his children's initials SKTKJ and R. Sarah wanted to know who the R was and who was the baby in the picture. It's only after Kevin recalls their father telling him about a child of a very good friend of his had died and the child was called Ryan.
Sarah leaves Ojai Foods and becomes CFO at a green foods start up company. After the IPO launch is successful, and Tommy flees to Mexico, Sarah returns to Ojai Foods to run the company.
