The English actress recalled a drama teacher pigeon-holing her from a young age. She told how she wanted to act from a young age, but often played supporting roles. "And I didn't care about that, I didn't aspire to play leading roles, really ever," she said on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. "But also because I was a little bit stocky, when I did start taking it much more seriously and got a child agent I really remember vividly a drama teacher...and she said to me, 'Well, darling, you'll have a career if you're ready to settle for the fat girl parts.'"
