- The only child of Pamela and Bernard Fullerton was born in Kaduna, Nigeria on 10 October 1956. As a child she wanted to be a ballet dancer and at 11 she enrolled at the Elmhurst Ballet School in Surrey where she was spotted and signed to appear in the film 'Run Wild, Run Free' in 1969. This was followed by 'Nicholas and Alexandra' in 1971, and in 1972 the title role in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', which was her big break. In 1975 was one of the original leads in the BBC television hospital drama series 'Angels'. The next year she married actor Simon MacCorkindale, divorcing him in 1981. Her career went quiet until in 1985 she became a Bond Girl, playing Pola Ivanova in 'A View To A Kill', then was one of the women involved with Nigel Harvers in the miniseries 'The Charmer.' As her career progressed, she encountered old family friend Neil Shakell again and fell in love with him; she married him in 1994 and became stepmother to his son James, and the next year she gave birth to Lucy. In 1996 she answered a knock on her door to face a gunman; later she discovered that the reason he didn't shoot her was that her baby was in her arms. She had already become disillusioned with her career, and the incident made her shun the limelight. She began buying, renovating, and selling houses, and she became so successful that she now owns a company that looks after property and an interior-design consultancy. Writing a property-advice column for two national newspapers for 10 years encouraged her to write three property-focused books. Besides her film and television work she played two well-known women on stage: Guinevere in Camelot opposite Richard Harris, and Eliza Dolittle in Pygmalion.- IMDb Mini Biography By: tonyman5
