Early-life: Juliet Anne Virginia Stevenson was born in Essex on October 30, 1956, the youngest child of a brigadier and his teacher wife. Her childhood was spent in many different countries, including Australia, Malta and Germany. 'I didn't come from anywhere, which is strange,' she says. 'Acting is full of refugees from everything - class, race, sexuality.' On leaving school she enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, where she studied alongside such luminaries as Jonathan Pryce, Alan Rickman, Kenneth Branagh and Imelda Staunton. After completing her studies, she was snapped up by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Career: Stevenson had appeared as most of Shakespeare's famous heroines by the time she was 30. As a result, she was hailed as the new Peggy Ashcroft, a label she hated and prompted her decision to leave the RSC. Her first TV role came in The Mallens in 1980. She made her first film, Drowning By Numbers, in 1988. The romantic drama Truly Madly Deeply introduced her to a wider audience in 1991. Since then she's returned to the stage numerous times, usually to great acclaim. Her distinguished CV includes diverse projects such as The Politician's Wife, Cider with Rosie, Bend it Like Beckham, Nicholas Nickleby, Mona Lisa Smile, Pierrepoint, and The Hour. Most recently she's been seen on the small screen in White Heat, The Village and Atlantis.

Quote: 'I'm hardly Hollywood material. They're interested in youth and perfection and I lay no claims to either. It's not a place that's particularly interested in talent.'
