(Reader)
Born:
August 27, 1978
in
Chadderton, Greater Manchester
Best Known For:
Playing Karen McDonald in Coronation Street
Early-life:
Born Sarah Anne Jones in Chadderton, Greater Manchester, on August 27, 1978. Her father is an engineer and her mother a secretary; she has an older brother called Gary. At 10, Suranne joined the Oldham Theatre Workshop, where she worked alongside Anna Friel, Lisa Riley and Antony Cotton. After leaving school at 16, she appeared in various stage productions, but by 2000, work dried up and she considered quitting. Landing the role of factory worker Karen in Coronation Street changed her mind.
Career:
Jones initially signed a three-month contract with Corrie, but the character proved such a big hit she stayed for four years. Shortly after quitting the soap, she won a part opposite Ray Winstone in Vincent. She went on to star in the TV dramas Strictly Confidential, Dead Clever, Harley Street, Unforgiven, Five Days, Single Father, Doctor Who, The Secret of Crickley Hall and Scott & Bailey. Away from the small screen, she has appeared on stage in A Few Good Men and was seen alongside Joss Stone in the film Snappers, in which she played a stunt woman-turned-B&B owner. She continues to appear on stage, but remains best known for her TV work.
Quote:
"I get nervous with every job because it's the unknown. It's like starting at a new school. I feel unsettled until I've got into my stride."
Trivia:
She devised the format of Scott & Bailey with her friend and former Coronation Street co-star Sally Lindsay, who was meant to take a leading role but was forced to drop out after becoming pregnant with twins. Instead, she plays the smaller part of Jones's sister.
