Her film credits include Jerry Zucker's First Knight, Captives with Tim Roth, Legends of the Fall with Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins and Aidan Quinn, Sydney Pollack's Sabrina with Harrison Ford, Resistance and Smilla's Sense of Snow. She also had a major role in the controversial Peter Greenaway film The Baby of Mâcon with Ralph Fiennes.

She starred in four projects released in 2008. She was reunited with Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and also appeared with Benicio del Toro in Che, with Abigail Breslin in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl Mystery, and with Bill Pullman in Surveillance, working with acclaimed directors such as David Fincher and Steven Soderbergh in two of the these projects.

Ormond married Rory Edwards, an actor she had met while performing in a production of Wuthering Heights. The marriage ended in 1994. In 1999 she married political activist Jon Rubin. The couple's first child, daughter Sophie, was born in the autumn of 2004.

Ormond has been an activist engaged with fighting human trafficking since the mid-1990s, and has recently partnered with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.3 She is also an advocate for Transatlantic Partners Against Aids, which attempts to raise awareness about AIDS in Russia and Ukraine, and is founding co-chairman of FilmAid International.4

On 2 December 2005, Ormond was appointed as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador.
