Her father is Tariq Anwar and her mother is
Shireen Anwar. Anwar attended Laleham Church of England Primary and
Middle School from 1975 to 1982. Trinian's sketch in the school concert
of 1982 gave an early indication of her theatrical leanings. She
studied at the London drama and dance school, "Italia Conti". She
appeared in many British television productions before making her film
debut in Manifesto (1988).
Her first American movie was
Der Spion, der aus der Highschool kam (1991),
in which she played the daughter of a murdered British Agent (played by
Roger Daltrey). In 1992, she made a guest
appearance on
Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990)
as "Tricia Kinney". She followed that with the films,
Das Herz einer Amazone (1991)
(inspired by "A Girl and Five Brave Horses"),
Der Duft der Frauen (1992),
Body Snatchers - Die Körperfresser (1993),
Ein Concierge zum Verlieben (1993) and
Die drei Musketiere (1993).
In 1994, People magazine named her one of the 50 most beautiful people
in the world. One of her most memorable moments on screen came in
1992's Der Duft der Frauen (1992),
when she danced a tango with Al Pacino, whose
character was blind.
