Dark-haired, porcelain-skinned Frances O'Connor made her film debut in Emma-Kate Croghan's surprise hit "Love and Other Catastrophes" in 1996, playing Mia, the self-assured film student facing difficulties with school administration and romantic problems with her girlfriend Danni (Radha Mitchell). The actress' impressive turn as the staunch and spunky young woman in this Australian independent garnered notice and acclaim. Hot on the heels of its 1996 Cannes screening, O'Connor began work on "Thank God He Met Lizzie" (1997), a romantic comedy starring Cate Blanchett as the titular significant other of a man (Richard Roxburgh) plagued by thoughts of his previous girlfriend Jenny (O'Connor). As Jenny, she once again gave an exuberant performance, easily evincing the high-spirited vitality and charm crucial to her role as the idealized early girlfriend who lives primarily in flashback. Although the film attracted only a small audience, critics pointed to O'Connor's performance as a stand-out feature of the otherwise unremarkable offering.
5 More memorable was her powerful starring turn in Bill Bennett's "Kiss or Kill" (1997) opposite fellow "Love and Other Catastrophes" co-star Matt Day. The two played con artist lovers on the run after their routine scheme turned sour, accidentally killing their intended robbery victim and ending up with a sordid videotape that incriminates a sports celebrity. O'Connor shone in the well-made character driven thriller, capably handling the emotionally demanding role of a calculating and cool but anxiety-ridden young woman who is scarred by her mother's brutal murder, which she witnessed as a young child.
The following year, she was featured in Peter Duncan's odd "A Little Bit of Soul", playing a genetic researcher who is competing with her former lover for a grant from a wealthy high ranking politician who is also a practicing Satanist. 5 In 1999, O'Connor took on her first non-Australian film, starring as Fanny Price in Patricia Rozema's adaptation of "Mansfield Park". A somewhat revisionist take on Jane Austen's novel, the film presented O'Connor's character as a more interesting and likable character than she is in the text, with Rozema inserting some of Austen's own personality (from writings in letters and journals) into Fanny's character. Although vastly different from her previous work, the actress gave an admirably strong performance in the role, remaining true to the script while letting her own modern spark shine through. She deftly handled the more reined in emotions necessary to the film, and proved a magnetic screen presence alongside co-stars Embeth Davidtz, Jonny Lee Miller and Alessandro Nivola.
