My mum is really fair and has blonde hair, and my dad is not dark, either.

Politics is terrifying, very masculine, and not particularly encouraging to young blonde women – as a career, that is – and it was only when I was working in parliament that I thought to myself, ‘Well, this is a tough industry; can an acting career be any more intimidating?’ and I applied to drama school.
People figure because I’m blonde and was a model, I just waltzed into Los Angeles and got major roles in major films.
