BRAND new crime drama Dalgliesh will air Thursday, November 4, 2021, on Channel 5.
The line-up features Natasha Little, whose work on the screens has not gone unnoticed over the years. Get the lowdown on the actress.
How old is Natasha Little and what’s her background?
Born in Liverpool in 1969, Natasha celebrated her 52nd birthday on October 2. Her mother has worked as a teacher while her father is an NHS manager.
During the first decade of her life, she lived in the Middle East, where her mother taught at an English-speaking school and her father set up immunisation clinics for the World Health Organisation.
The family then moved back to England, settling in Loughton, Essex.
Natasha attended Loughton County High School for Girls and was part of a Saturday drama group called the Epping Youth Theatre.
Acting was not her first passion, however, as she initially planned on a career in law.
A teacher managed to convince to apply to drama school following her performance in a school production of the musical Chicago.
She then attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and graduated in 1994 with a BA in drama.
Natasha is also a trained singer and is trained in basic jazz, ballroom and period dance.
What’s Natasha Little’s net worth?
Throughout her acting career, Natasha has managed to gain a considerable fortune.
Her net worth is estimated between $15 million and $18 million.
This is equivalent to £10,9 million and £13,1 million.
Is Natasha Little married and does she have kids?
Natasha tied the knot with British-Polish actor Bo Poraj in May 2003 and currently resides in the Leyvonstone area of London.
The couple seem to prefer keeping away from the spotlight as not much is known about their family life.
They are, however, said to share two sons, whose names are yet to be revealed.
How did Natasha Little land her role in London’s Burning?
Perhaps one of her most known roles, Natasha played Jenny in the successful ITV drama London’s Burning in 1996.
But the story behind her landing the role is not well-known.
After appearing in the BBC series Between the Lines, in 1994, Natasha went back to performing on stage.
After graduating, she was seen performing a play at the Latchmere Pub Theatre – known as Theatre503 as of 2021.
Unbeknownst to her, this allowed her to go onto a career in TV.
How did Natasha Little get famous?
Natasha’s appearance in London’s Burning, a highly successful programme, kick-started her career on television and subsequently revealed her to the public.
Following this first success, she landed other parts on the small screen and in many popular shows.
She won the roles of Lynda La Plante in Supply & Demand in 1997 and the role of Rachel in the critically acclaimed drama, This Life.
What TV and movies has Natasha Little starred in?
With numerous TV credits to her name, Natasha has appeared in several well-loved shows in the likes of The Bill (1998), Big Women, The Nearly Complete and Utter History of Everything (1999), Spooks (2003) and Extras (2005) among others.
Her roles on the big screen include The Clandestine Marriage (1999), The Criminal, Kevin & Perry Go Large, Greenfingers, Another Life, Vanity Fair, and A Congregation of Ghosts.
Natasha has also had many roles in theatre, including in Voyage Round My Father, The Vagina Monologues and The Novice.
What are Natasha Little’s social media handles?
Natasha is not available on any social media platform.
She cannot be found on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.
Fans may have held out hope that her husband could have his own accounts but will undoubtedly be disappointed to know he is also keeping a low-profile.
The Dalgliesh star will be appearing on Channel 5 at 9pm, however, with the premiere of the new drama series set to air on Thursday, November 4, 2021.
