The smart set’s talking about... Why Gilmour girl is in the pink

LANDING a tiny part in Downton Abbey eight years ago, aged 11, was just the beginning for actress Romany Gilmour.

I hear the daughter of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and novelist Polly Samson has been snapped up by one of the country’s biggest talent agencies.

‘I am very happy to announce that I am now represented by Tavistock Wood,’ confirms Romany, who joins Hollywood stars Alicia Vikander and Lily James on their books.

Romany is the youngest of David’s eight children. Her first credited appearance will be in Wonderwell, starring the late Carrie Fisher. A woman of many talents, Romany is also a musician and last year sang with her father on Yes, I Have Ghosts.
