Caroline Quentin
(Actor)
Born:
July 11, 1960
in
Reigate, Surrey
Best Known For:
Playing Dorothy in 1990's sitcom Men Behaving Badly.
Early-life:
Born Caroline Jones in Reigate, Surrey, on July 11, 1960. She has three older sisters. She learnt her trade at the Tring Park School, a boarding school focusing on the performing arts, which would eventually give her the platform to forge a TV career. Her first proper job, however, came on stage in Lowestoft, where, at the age of 16, she was a member of a chorus line. A director spotted her and offered her a job at London's Royal Court Theatre.
Career:
During the 1980s, Quentin had small, supporting roles in a number of projects. In the early 1990s she made appearances in Harry Enfield and Chums before landing the role of Dorothy on Men Behaving Badly in 1992, which eventually ended in 1998. Jonathan Creek offered Quentin a chance to delve into slightly more serious territory. Acting projects since include Life Begins, Blue Murder, Life of Riley, Just William, Dead Boss, Switch and Dancing on the Edge. Quentin also presents Restoration Home (she has dabbled in property restoration herself on numerous occasions) and has begun a second TV career as a travelogue presenter thanks to series such as A Passage Through India and Caroline Quentin's Cornwall.
Quote:
'Reaching 50 is a reason for great celebration, if you ask me, because we all know people at this stage who haven't made it. In the end, it's so much better than the alternative.'
Trivia:
In 2004, Quentin received a special recognition gong at the National Television Awards.

Career:
Hill's career has focussed largely on British TV. She played Aveline in Bread from 1989 to 1991, Marie Carver in The Bill and Avril Kent in Emmerdale, to name some of her roles. She has also made some film appearances, including in Brassed Off (1996), Stardust (2007) and White Girl (2008). She joined the cast of Waterloo Road in 2012, playing Maggie, and stayed until the series ended three years later. Since 2015, she has played Cathy Matthews in Coronation Street.
Quote:
On being approached in public: 'It's getting recognised when you're having a bad day - you feel rubbish and someone's chasing you - that isn't very nice.'

She was married to Sean Bean between 1990 and 1997. They have two daughters.
