first time we heard someone on screen say, “he’s got DNA”. ● I walked away from my acting career. I went to
RADA when I was 15 and my contemporaries were Ian McShane, Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt. I was a very accomplished actress and earning ver y good money. I was doing a lot of TV and stage. I don’t have regrets in any way at all. It’s a ver y cruel career, acting. There are very few who make it.
