Miriam Margolyes (born 1941) is a British-Australian actor, writer, raconteur and global treasure. As a student in the 1960s she began performing with the Cambridge Footlights, and made her television debut as a contestant in the first ever series of University Challenge. Her countless roles in film, television and radio include a string of unforgettable characters in the Blackadder series (1983-1988), Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films (2002-2011), the Nurse in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet (1996), and Mrs Mingott in Martin Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence (1993), a role for which she won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress. Miriam is also renowned as a prodigiously talented voice artist, with roles including everything from a sheepdog in Babe (1995) to a Matchmaker in Mulan (1998), a seductive bunny in a fabled commercial for Cadbury’s Caramel, and an alien in the forthcoming 60th anniversary episode of Doctor Who. A self-styled ‘fat old Jewish dyke’, Miriam is adored the world over for her outspoken contributions to political discourse, her lifelong openness about her sexuality, and her unquenchable love of life.

Other films include: Yentl (1983), Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Little Dorrit (1988), Immortal Beloved (1994), Ladies in Lavender (2004), Happy Feet (2006)
