Rachael Stirling
(Actor)
.. Phillippa Kaufmann QC
Best Known For:
Tipping the Velvet.
Early-life:
Rachael Atlanta Stirling was born on May 30, 1977, in London. She's the daughter of actress Diana Rigg and her second husband, Archibald Stirling, a theatre producer and Laird of the Keir estate in Stirling, Scotland. She has two older half-brothers from her father's first marriage, and a younger half-brother from his third. Rachael studied art history at Edinburgh University, where she also appeared on stage with its theatre company. She can also speak Russian and is a skilled equestrian.
Career:
Stirling's first major stage role was a 1996 National Youth Theatre production of Othello, in which she played Desdemona opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor. Two years later she made her film debut in the British comedy Still Crazy, opposite Bill Nighy and Jimmy Nail. In 2000, she featured as the young Rebeccah in the miniseries In the Beginning; her mother played the character at an older age. But it was the BBC's 2002 adaptation of Sarah Waters' novel Tipping the Velvet that made her a star. Since then Stirling has appeared on stage in Theatre of Blood (playing the same character her mother portrayed in the 1971 film version), Look Back in Anger, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Priory and An Ideal Husband. Films include Maybe Baby, Complicity, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Snow White and the Huntsman.
Quote:
"I was only vaguely aware when I was little that Ma was famous. I can remember people pointing at her in Marks & Spencer. But she kept work and home very separate."
Trivia:
In 2012, Stirling appeared alongside Mark Gatiss at the Donmar Warehouse in The Recruiting Officer. He'd already starred with her mother in a stage version of All About My Mother. He then wrote an episode of Doctor Who entitled The Crimson Horror, with parts especially written for them both - it aired in May 2013 and was the first time the two actresses had appeared on screen together.
