Zoë Wanamaker CBE

Zoë Wanamaker was born in New York, but moved to England when she was three. Her father, the American actor/director Sam Wanamaker, strove for many years to rebuild Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on London’s South Bank. Zoë is still a USA citizen and was given a British "honorary" CBE in 2000.

Throughout her acting career, Zoë has won numerous drama awards. Her starring role in the Sophocles play Electra won her the 1998 Olivier Award as Best Actress. It was her second Olivier in that category, the first coming in 1979 for her role as May Daniels in Once in a Lifetime. She earned a 1984 Critics' Circle Theatre Award for her role in Mother Courage, a 1986 Drama Desk Award for her performance in Loot, a 1992 Broadcasting Press Guild Award for her performance in Countess Alice, and a 2002 Olivier nomination for her performance in Boston Marriage.

Zoë's best known screen work includes Madam

Hooch, the flying teacher in the film adaptations

of J K Rowling's Harry Potter books; and Susan

Harper, wife of Ben (Robert Lindsay) in the BBC

TV Comedy My Family.
