- Gwyneth was born in London to English/Welsh parents who both worked for the BBC - her father, Colin, directed The Old Grey Whistle Test (1971) and Late Night Line-Up (1964) - but they weren't keen on her becoming an actress. She didn't go to drama school but had acting lessons at her school. She made her acting debut in the Theatre Upstairs at London's Royal Court Theatre in 'Live Like Pigs', playing the Cockney daughter of a gypsy family. Her television work includes a toothpaste commercial but she's best known for playing Cassandra in Only Fools and Horses (1981). She made her film debut at the age of 12 in Nothing But the Night (1973). Tonyman 5- IMDb mini biography by: Tonyman 5
