Meet the talented actress, whose youthful beginnings were marked by her parents' illustrious careers. As the youngest child of renowned actor Cyril Cusack and his Australian wife, she was raised and educated in the vibrant city of London.
As a 17-year-old, she embarked on her acting journey, securing her first role in the iconic television series, Dr. Who. This initial foray into the world of acting was merely the beginning of a long and illustrious career.
However, she didn't let her newfound passion for acting deter her from pursuing her education. Instead, she quit her university course in drama to take on the role of Constance in BBC2's critically acclaimed series, Sophia and Constance.
Her next significant role arrived in the form of Nanny Carmichael in the long-running British soap opera, Coronation Street. This stint was soon followed by a stage performance in Sir Peter Hall's Company at The Old Vic, where she took to the boards alongside her father and three sisters, Niamh, Sorcha, and Sinead, in the productions of Prayers of Sherkin and Chekov's Three Sisters.
