Biography

Who Is Amanda Donohoe?

Amanda Donohoe was born in London, England in 1962 and is 64 years old. Credited on films since 1986, as an actor. The background, training and the roles that shaped the career.

Amanda Donohoe was born on 29 June 1962 in London, England, to Ted and Joanna Donohoe and grew up with an older sister named Cordelia. She boasts a multicultural heritage that includes Irish, Russian, and Swiss roots, and her childhood was marked by frequent relocations due to her father's work with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office before the family settled back in London. Educated at the Francis Holland School, Donohoe left home at fifteen to live with pop‑star Adam Ant, appearing in his iconic music videos for Antmusic (1980) and Stand and Deliver (1981) while their four‑year romance captured the public’s imagination. Shortly after the videos aired, she earned a place at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, where she honed her craft and prepared for a transition from music‑scene muse to serious actress. In the mid‑1980s she made a striking film debut with Foreign Body (1986) and quickly followed with a co‑starring role alongside Oliver Reed in Castaway, establishing her as a versatile talent capable of handling both period pieces and genre fare such as Ken Russell’s The Lair of the White Worm (1988) and The Rainbow (1989).
