Biography

Camille Coduri was born in Wandsworth, south London. She was educated at Holy Trinity Primary School, Tooting, and the Upper Tooting High School where she made her stage debut at the age of fourteen playing Cecily in the school's adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest."

Upon leaving school she studied drama at Kingsway Princeton College, King's Cross, where she fell in love with the theatre. She successfully auditioned for a place in the new Lyric Youth Theatre, based at the Lyric Theatre in London's West End, in 1981. They were a somewhat controversial and ground breaking company as, unlike traditional youth theatre, the scripts were improvised and based on the casts own lives and experiences. At the age of sixteen she appeared in their first production, Get Out of That Then, directed by Lucy Parker.

She was spotted by major casting director Mary Selway (Aliens, Lost in Space etc) who helped her to obtain her Equity card and her first professional appearance was in A Prayer for the Dying (directed by Mike Hodges of Get Carter fame) at the age of 21. Her first TV appearance was as Shandy Tremblett in Boon in 1987.

Camille is married to actor Christopher Fulford and they have two children. Her hobbies include swimming, "movies, movies, movies" and reading.

The two biggest influences on her career have been Lucy Parker and Mary Selway, "two amazing women."

With grateful thanks to Camille for the above information.
