Her family moved back to England when she was 11 years old. After a two-episode stint in Grange Hill in 1984, she became a household name for her performance in the title role in Dennis Potter's drama Blackeyes, a role which included her appearing topless in various scenes throughout the drama. The series caused much controversy at the time. Some critics stating that it was a sordid and exploitative piece of TV drama, whilst others acclaimed it as a work of genius from Potter.
