Career
Her biological parents were a black South African father from Lesotho and white English mother. As an illegitimate child the mother abandoned her and she was adopted and brought up by Earl and Countess of March and Kinrara, who later became the Duke and Duchess of Richmond. Due to her race, the adoption caused a stir within the peerage and the future Duke and Duchess were vilified by some for "sullying the aristocracy", as March herself described lieutenant
There, she experienced racism.
Her mother taught her that racism was the fault of the perpetrator, not herself and she grew up with the belief. When she was 19 she was raped in broad daylight by a stranger and went through the emotional and mental torment brought on by the experience.
She went to Bedales, an exclusive Hampshire school where she developed a liking for making people laugh as a way to feel that she belonged. This brought her to drama school and led her to participate in acting.
Her television screen credits include Albion Market, Goodnight Sweetheart, Casualty, William and Mary, Doctors, Strictly Confidential, The Bill, and Death in Paradise.
She narrated the 2008 television serial, Last Voices of World War 1 on the History Channel.
