The Lovely Laura

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside

About Me

I came to Brighton to escape the media glare and tiresome paparazzi presence following my debut on the London stage. I try to live a normal life, working and living incognito. I just want to be treated like everyone else. I'm busy renovating my loft apartment, fortunately the antique display cabinet will be delivered on Tuesday to house the various Baftas/Emmys/Grammys/Oscars/Tonys, they do clutter up the place rather, and are a nightmare for the maid to dust. When I'm not acting, I fundraise for world peace. Thanks for all your friend requests and messages everyone, my agent checks this page daily, and I will try to respond to you all individually, when I have a free moment. My fans are so important to me, but please no more begging letters, or autograph requests. Laura is available for theatre, TV and film work, for the usual fee.
