How my film career happened, I don't know. It was unplanned. I'd been in films and TV throughout the Sixties and early Seventies, but it was really 'The Naked Civil Servant' in 1975 that put me on the radar.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first job was in pantomime; I was a chorus girl in 'Dick Whittington' at 16. I got the part by ringing the director daily to see if anyone had dropped out, and it paid off eventually, when I was cast as a rat!
I had been working early in my life in films - since I was 11.
I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.
I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.
When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.
I didn't start acting until I was in college, which was in the 70's.
I got into television, and I'm a television guy, so I've never really had a movie career.
The making of 'Naked' was an absolutely phenomenal, mind-bending experience. That film was life-changing and put my career onto a whole different level.
For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.
My first job was a film called 'Storm Damage' for the BBC. I was 16 and working with really respected British actors. I didn't have an agent at the time, and it kind of threw me into real acting.
