TRIVIA:
- Both times she was Oscar-nominated, she competed with 'Vanessa Redgrave' (qv) for the award. Neither actress won the award either time.
- Often works with 'Woody Allen' (qv), who considers her "one of the most exciting actresses in the world".
- In 2002, took out an "apprehended violence order" against her husband, 'Colin Friels' (qv). She was reportedly cut during an argument about a newspaper article during which a table was broken. The order did not require the couple to be separated.
- Intensely dislikes being interviewed, and does so only as a gesture of goodwill toward the directors of her films.
- Once said that the one role she wanted but didn't get was 'Debra Winger' (qv)'s part in _The Sheltering Sky (1990)_ (qv).
- Lost her Catholic faith at age 14, when she read a book that suggested a metaphorical rather than a literal interpretation of the story of Jesus and the miracle of the loaves and fishes.
- On June 2, 2008, won a libel case against Australia's Daily Telegraph. The suit claimed Davis had been defamed in articles about her appearance at a council meeting at which objections were raised against plans to install floodlighting at a sports field near her Sydney home. The articles suggested she was unconcerned about the potential danger to children due to the poor lighting at the park, and also suggested she had angrily stormed out of the meeting. The jury ruled with Davis, stating she had been defamed by the newspaper. She received the equivalent of $133,000 in damages.
- Nominated for the Helpmann Award (Australia's equivalent of the Tony Award) for Victory (Best Actress in a Play, 2004).
