Julie Walters

Born in Birmingham in 1950, Julie Walters is consistently voted Britain's best and favourite TV actress and comedienne and gains critical success and awards with every new venture. She is unique in being so talented as to be loved as much for her comedy roles and characterization as for her often harrowing portrayals of

troubled women. Julie Walters could well be seen as the nations Mum but she has never been stereo typed and has met the challenge of many tough roles, managing to make the lot of ordinary people, extraordinary. Julie's Mother, was set against Julie becoming an actress, and persuaded her to become a nurse. Eventually the calling to learn to act was too great and Julie enrolled on a drama course at Manchester Polytechnic. She maintains it was not the inspiration of great literature which drew her to acting but the desire to better understand the people around her. Perhaps it this drive that we all recognise in the realism of Julie's talent. Julie has kept many long running asnd successful working relationships with writers, famously including Victoria Wood, Alan Bleasdale and Alan Bennett. Julie never fails to please her audiences and she was very touched to find that, despite her apparent reservations her Mother had kept a box crammed full of newspaper clippings about Julies acting career.
