Profession: Actress
Belfast-born Anna Friel shot to fame at age 16 playing Beth Jordache, British television's first lesbian character, on the serial "Brookside". Between 1993 and 1995, her character proved a controversial yet extremely popular one in the UK, inspiring many "Free Beth Jordache" campaigns when she was on trial for patricide. Despite her status as a household name, Friel was dropped from the show in 1995 when Beth committed suicide offscreen. The petite beauty remained visible, frequently appearing in semi-nude or nude shots in British magazines, and continued acting in such ventures as an episode of HBO's "Tales From the Crypt" in 1996 and portraying Bella Wilfer in the 1998 BBC adaptation of "Our Mutual Friend". Friel continued to develop a sex symbol persona with her role in the BBC-2 movie "The Tribe" (1998), playing a seductive member of a cult-like Goth group, a role that required full frontal nudity. She segued to the big screen as the brazen flirt Prue in David Leland's World War II drama "The Land Girls" (1998).
