Early life
Burrows was born in London, England, to a politically active family; both of her parents are socialists.3 Her father is an architect and teacher and her mother, Susie,4 is a teacher and feminist.1 At age fifteen, she was discovered by Beth Boldt, a modelling talent scout (she stands about 6 feet tall), and she began a successful modelling career.

Burrows made her film debut in In the Name of the Father (1993). Her first significant acting role was as an ambitious Irish woman in Circle of Friends (1995). Subsequently she appeared in Hotel de Love (1996). In 1999, she appeared in the sci-fi Wing Commander (1999), the thriller Deep Blue Sea, and the experimental film The Loss of Sexual Innocence. The following year she appeared in Miss Julie and Timecode.
In 2001, she had roles in Enigma, and Tempted. In 2004 she played the part of Andromache in the big-budget movie Troy. In January 2005 she created the role of Janey in the world premiere of Earthly Paradise at the Almeida Theatre,5 and on 30 October 2005 she appeared on stage at the Old Vic theatre in London in a 24-hour play, Night Sky, alongside Christopher Eccleston, Bruno Langley, David Warner, Navin Chowdhry and David Baddiel.
Burrows played attorney Lorraine Weller on ABC's Boston Legal (Season 4) from 2007-2008. She starred on NBC's new series, My Own Worst Enemy until its cancellation.
In 2008, she appeared in the independent film The Guitar, which made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as in a starring role in the heist film The Bank Job.

Personal life
Burrows is a close friend of politician Tony Benn.7 She is also a socialist and has spoken of her admiration for French Socialist politician Ségolène Royal.8 She joined an anti-racism group when she was 11 years old and she went on to become the Vice President of the National Civil Rights Movement9 and she is a campaigner for disabled rights and equality.
In a 1999 interview with Film Unlimited, Burrows revealed that she has had female lovers.10 For a number of years, she was involved with film director Mike Figgis, and she starred in some of his films, including Miss Julie - one of the first films to experiment with multi-camera views, and Figgis' quad-screen film, Timecode.
Since the ending of that relationship, she has been romantically linked with actress Fiona Shaw.91112 Neither actress has publicly commented on the relationship. The two appeared together in the National Theatre's production of The PowerBook,13 a play based on the novel of the same name by Jeanette Winterson, in which they played lovers. In 2006 the Independent on Sunday listed Burrows as the 90th most influential gay person in the UK,14. In a 2003 interview a former boyfriend Alan Cumming said "I was really lucky that the first relationship I had after [my divorce] was with Saffron, who's really...understanding and a broadminded person. And who's now...As I'm sure you know...Well. She bats for both teams, too."15
