Amanda Redman

Badly scarred on her upper left arm (as well as over the less visible parts of her body) as a result of scalding herself with a cauldron of boiling soup when she was 18 months old. She spent almost all the time from then until the age of five in the burns unit of a hospital, having plastic surgery by a surgeon who had previously been trained by Archibald McIndoe, the pioneering surgeon who treated WWII pilots who had suffered severe burns in plane crashes.
