[edit] Degree

So does she have a degree in English, SPS, or both??

[edit] Clarification on nationality

Tilda Swinton is not English, she is Scottish (don't let her typically English public school accent fool ya!) So you cannot use the term English actress to describe her accurately. Perhaps British is the best term, as it covers Scottish, English, Welsh and Northern Irish. 80.41.38.247 00:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

You're right. I once read an article about Tilda and she refers to herself as Scottish, not English. Zenitram82 21:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Difficult to say, isn't it? Father is a Scot but mother is Australian and Matilda was born in London. So I'd say she's struggling to be half-Scottish if we used the government's yardstick of "where were you born". David Lauder (talk) 12:40, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Or we could just go with the fact that she's undisputably British and leave it at that? 79.75.36.35 (talk) 02:11, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I changed it to British--Mongreilf (talk) 09:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Work

When not making movies she help out at her kids school in Nairn by cleaning the School.

[edit] Spouse

She has clarified in a recent article in the Daily Mail that she is not, and never has been married, so she has no spouse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.56.189 (talk) 22:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Someone wrote that her relationship with John Byrne was now platonic, but there's nothing in the referenced article or anywhere else I've seen that supports that. For all we know she's involved romantically and sexually with both Byrne and Kopp.
