Trivia
Neighbour is the well-known singer, Enya.
Lives in a £1.95 million, 10,000 square feet house overlooking the sea at Dalkey.
In 2000, she settled a libel action against the Mirror Newspaper Group of Dublin in Ireland, following the publication of a 1999 press article that erroneously claimed she had appeared nude or partially nude on screen. Before the case was due to get underway, a settlement was agreed and Edward Walsh for the Irish Mirror read an apology to the High Court, saying that it was quite untrue that she had ever appeared nude or partially nude in her film roles. He also stated that it is a well-known fact that throughout her career she has always adamantly refused to participate in scenes involving nudity, and that this refusal has cost her the loss of many lucrative roles. The Irish Mirror paid damages, although the actual amount is unknown. Miss Doody told the media that she was quite happy that it was over, and that her good name had been vindicated.
Has played opposite three Bond actors in three different movies. She had a cameo appearance in A View to a Kill in which she shared a scene with Roger Moore, she played Pierce Brosnan's girlfriend in Taffin and starred along with Sean Connery in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
She has been presented with the Prince's Trust Award for Charity, for her constant and generous support to children in need.
Director Peter Jackson personally offered her the role of "Éowyn" in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, but she declined due to her impending pregnancy, which wouldn't have worked with the 18-month on-location production the movies required. The role eventually went to Miranda Otto.
She has turned down several acting offers throughout her career, including the role of Al Pacino's girlfriend in Carlito's Way.
Has two daughters with Gavin O'Reilly: Alanna (born 1996) and Lauren (born 1999).
