The daughter of well known authors and illustrators of children's books, Jacqui and

made her first notable big screen performance as Samantha in another
Mike Leigh film, All or Nothing in 2002. She also appeared as Slasher in
the 2004 production of Layer Cake. Her first major television role came in 2005

    I admire an actor who can so completely become a character that I don't think about who is playing the part.
