Martine McCutcheon (Guest)
Born: May 14, 1976 in London
Best Known For: Playing EastEnder Tiffany Mitchell.
Early-life: Born Martine Kimberley Sherrie Ponting on May 14, 1976, in Hackney, East London. Her mother Jenny and biological father Thomas had a stormy, violent relationship. He left the family home when Martine was two. Jenny went on to marry window cleaner John McCutcheon, and her daughter took his name. At school, Martine landed parts in several plays, and at the age of 10, began attending the Italia Conti Stage School in London.
Career: McCutcheon made her TV debut in Bluebirds in 1989 and at 15 fronted the all-girl band Milan, which went on tour with East 17. She started playing Tiffany Mitchell in EastEnders when she was 17 and, for three years, was one of the show's most popular characters. McCutcheon left Albert Square to pursue a singing career - her first single, Perfect Moment, shot straight to the top of the charts. She won an Olivier Award in 2002 for her West End debut role as Eliza Doolittle in a revival of My Fair Lady, although her run was cut short by ill health. She has also starred in Love Actually, The English Harem and Echo Beach. Away from acting she's released a fitness DVD, two autobiographies and a novel, and was a judge on short-lived ITV show Let's Get Gold.
Quote: "This business is hard and really mean."
Trivia: She was declared bankrupt in 2013.
