With Happy Valley<\/a> coming to an end, we have a feeling that when all\u2019s said and done people won\u2019t be left talking about the shocking twists and turns, but instead about the stellar performance from Sarah Lancashire.<\/p>\n

Of course, for those who know Lancashire\u2019s previous work, this isn\u2019t a surprise \u2013 she has routinely proven herself to be a hugely impressive actor, able to move between hilarious and heartbreaking at the drop of a hat.<\/p>\n

Lancashire was born in Oldham,\u00a0Lancashire in 1964, to father Geoffrey and mother Hilda. Geoffrey was a television scriptwriter, particularly known for his work on Coronation Street<\/a>. She attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating in 1986.<\/p>\n

Outside of Happy Valley, Lancashire is perhaps best known for her role in Last Tango in Halifax, another series from Happy Valley creator Sally Wainwright in which she played Caroline, a role for which she won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress.<\/p>\n

However, she has also made her name in long-running shows including Coronation Street and Doctor Who<\/a>, the latter of which she appeared in for one episode as a guest star, as well as acclaimed dramas including Julia, The Paradise and MotherFatherSon.<\/p>\n

She also narrated the popular BBC period drama Lark Rise to Candleford, playing an adult version of Olivia Hallinan\u2019s character Laura Timmins.<\/p>

While Lancashire is mainly known for her TV work, that hasn\u2019t stopped her from putting in some phenomenal performances in high-profile British films across the years.<\/p>\n

These have included the Richard Curtis\/Danny Boyle romantic comedy Yesterday, the Dad\u2019s Army reboot film and Prime Video\u2019s adaptation of theatre hit Everybody\u2019s Talking About Jamie.<\/p>\n

She also appeared in And When Did You Last See Your Father?, the deeply moving drama film starring Jim Broadbent and Colin Firth.<\/p>\n

Lancashire has said she doesn\u2019t enjoy being recognised in public, and has said<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve learnt that it\u2019s possible to be as anonymous as you want. It\u2019s a choice, and I\u2019ve become very, very good at being anonymous.\u201d<\/p>\n
