Brenda Blethyn arrived late in life. She was an administrative professional before deciding to pursue acting in her late twenties. But that timely decision proved to be more than wise: Blethyn is now considered one of Britain’s most successful showbiz ladies, having appeared in over 80 productions. Blethyn made her feature film début in 1990, but she hasn’t stopped since. The Ramsgate, Kent, resident made it to Secrets & Lies, Pride & Prejudice, and Saving Grace. She has recently appeared in the crime series Kate & Koji and Vera, in which she plays a humorous investigator.
