Education

About me

My first taste of acting was in school plays, and then at Teacher Training College. The college was all female but they often chose plays with male parts, so I once played Sir Walter Raleigh.

I retired from Social Services 10 years ago to look after my first grandchild - I have 7 now. This seemed like an ideal opportunity to revisit acting.

To begin with I became a Supporting Artiste. I have been lucky to work on Solo, A Star Wars Story; Fantastic Beasts; and many other feature films and tv. My acting parts were, Mrs Lowery in The Killer Beside Me, and most recently a grandmother in an LICC film. I find the work extremely interesting and I have learnt a great deal about production, how to behave on set, and follow directions .

I joined an acting school run by 'Reading Between the Lines' (RBL) a local theatre company. The course covers physicality, creativity and believability. This is giving me more confidence in front of the camera and experience of working with other actors.
Additional skills:
Very adaptable. Athletic.
Additional information:
As I am retired, I have good last minute availability. My hair is shoulder length so can be worn down, or put up into many different styles for period dramas.
