The English actress rose to prominence with standout roles in films such as The Golden Child, Men of War, and Embrace of the Vampire. Over the years, the English actress has remained a notable figure not only for her work on screen but also for speaking out about her personal experiences. One of the most significant moments in her public life was when the English actress courageously came forward with allegations of sexual assault against director Roman Polanski.

Before she gained fame, the English actress attended Bishop Douglass School in Finchley, North London, where she spent her formative years. Her acting journey began in 1978 when she made her debut on the popular British series Grange Hill. That early role set the stage for what would become a dynamic career in film and television.

In the 1980s, the English actress was romantically linked to Eddie Murphy, her co-star in The Golden Child, which added to her visibility in Hollywood at the time. On a personal note, the English actress comes from a diverse background—her father has roots in both Chilean and Iraqi heritage, contributing to her unique identity.

In 2004, the English actress embraced motherhood with the birth of her son, marking a new chapter in her life beyond the spotlight. Throughout it all, the English actress has continued to be recognized not just for her performances, but for her resilience and voice in important conversations.
