Laurie Brett (born 1970) is a Scottish actress, currently known for her role as Jane Beale in EastEnders, in which she has starred since 2004.
Personal life
Brett was born in Hamilton, Scotland. She studied at the London Studio Centre. She is fluent in Spanish. She has participated in various charity events.
Brett was in a relationship with a musician named Dave Evans for six years. The couple met on a blind date in 2001 and got engaged; however, they split in 2007 before the wedding. Laurie told the Sunday Mirror, "It's an amicable split and we remain good friends."
On the Richard and Judy show, she revealed she speaks with a Scottish accent. However, on moving to London, she dropped the accent and can speak as a Londoner - fitting for her EastEnders role.
Career
She has toured with Circo Magico Italiano, a travelling circus, in Mexico and Central America, played a prostitute in the London production of the musical Les Misérables (her singing and dancing skills have made her a regular in the musical theatre), starred in fringe theatre productions and she has appeared in the UK Tour of The Rocky Horror Show as Magenta, starring alongside Jason Donovan as Frank. She has appeared in the musical Smokey Joe's Cafe.
Brett made her television debut in London's Burning (as an office girl) in 1992. She has appeared in several television advertisements, including most notably Learn Direct Scotland commercials.
Brett has made appearances on The Bill, My Hero, Family Affairs.
She made her first appearance in EastEnders in June 2004, at which time the character was known as Jane Collins.
She participated in the 2007 and 2008 telethon appeals for Children in Need where she sang alongside the rest of the EastEnders cast; in the latter, she was cast as Mary Poppins.
