actress. She spent three years there, where she always seemed to play
old ladies. She did some stage work and appeared on TV in episodes of
Agatha Christie's Poirot and Casualty (1993) before landing the role of
Penhaligon or 'Panhandle', in Cracker with Robbie Coltrane (Rubeus
Hagrid in Harry Potter).
