Jessica Reynolds (Actor) .. Young Emma Harte
Emmett J Scanlan (Actor) .. Adam Fairley
Lydia Leonard (Actor) .. Olivia Wainwright
Brenda Blethyn (Actor) .. Emma Harte
Born: February 20, 1946 in Kent
Best Known For: Secrets & Lies.
Early-life: Born Brenda Anne Bottle on February 20, 1946, in Ramsgate, Kent. She's the youngest of nine children of a parlour maid and a chauffeur. Money was tight when she was growing up. After excelling at maths at school, she worked as a secretary and bookkeeper in a bank. But she was always obsessed with films and acting and, at the age of 27, after divorcing her first husband, she gave up her day job and used her savings to fund a drama course at Guildford. She didn't tell her parents, and thought she would go back to her old career if things didn't work out.
Career: Blethyn gained early experience with two small theatre groups before joining the National Theatre in 1975. Her TV debut was in a 1979 episode of Tales of the Unexpected, and a year later she had a lead role in Mike Leigh's small-screen project Gloria. In 1990 she made her first film, The Witches, following that up with A River Runs Through It. Despite roles in Outside Edge and The Buddha of Suburbia, she didn't become a household name until her Oscar-nominated role in Leigh's Secrets & Lies. Since then she's starred in Girls' Night, Saving Grace, Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, London River, and gained another Oscar nomination for Little Voice. She returned to the small screen in 2011 playing the title role in ITV's detective series Vera.
Quote: 'I don't have ambition. My expectations are low.'
Trivia: Blethyn was awarded an OBE for services to drama in the 2003 New Year Honours List.

As well as film, Regbo has had recurring roles on TV, including as King Francis II in Reign and Aethelred in The Last Kingdom.
Quote: On social media: 'I think it's a great way to interact with people, but at the same time, there are much more soul-enriching and less detrimental ways to interact with other human beings.'
