Biography
Early life
Campbell was born in
Guelph, Ontario. Campbell's mother, Marnie (
née Neve), is a
yoga instructor and
psychologist from
Amsterdam, the
Netherlands. Her father, Gerry Campbell, an
immigrant to Canada from the East End of
Glasgow,
Scotland, taught high school drama classes in
Mississauga, Ontario — first at Westwood Secondary School (now
Lincoln M. Alexander Secondary School) and later at
Lorne Park Secondary School. Campbell's maternal grandparents ran a theatre company in the Netherlands and her paternal grandparents were also performers. Campbell is
Catholic, but also identifies as
Jewish because of her mother's
Sephardic Jewish ancestry, about which she's said: "I am a practicing Catholic, but my lineage is Jewish, so if someone asks me if I'm Jewish, I say yes".
Campbell's parents
divorced when she was two years old. She and brother
Christian resided largely with their father (who received custody of the two), but which received only a brief and limited theatrical release.
In
March 2006, Campbell made her
West End theatre debut, in a version of
Arthur Miller's
Resurrection Blues at the
Old Vic theatre. The play, which received mixed reviews, co-stars
Matthew Modine and
Maximilian Schell, and was directed by
Robert Altman, with whom Campbell has previously worked with in
The Company. She performed again at the West End later in 2006 as part of
Love Song, starring alongside
Cillian Murphy,
Michael McKean, and
Kristen Johnston, to mixed reviews.
On
July 7,
2007, Campbell presented at the
UK leg of
Live Earth at
Wembley Stadium,
London.
Personal life

Jeff Colt on
April 3,
1995; they divorced on
May 8,
1998. She has also dated actors
John Cusack,
Matthew Lillard, and

Tourette Syndrome Association, a similar organisation in the United States. Her younger half-brother, Damian McDonald, has
Tourette syndrome. She also has an elder brother, Christian, and another brother, Alex, both of whom are actors.
In 2005, Campbell began dating
John Light, an
English actor who she met while filming the movie
Investigating Sex. The couple became engaged in
December 2005 and live in
London, England. When Light proposed, he got down on one knee and recited

2007; her father "gave away" the bride.
