Шери Лунги: Актриса и её карьера

English actress and voice over artist

Cherie Mary Lunghi (born 4 April 1952) is an English film, television, theatre actress and voice over artist. She is known for her roles in many British dramas. Her international fame stems from her role as Guinevere in the 1981 film Excalibur. Her long list of screen, stage, and TV credits include football manager Gabriella Benson in the 1990s television series The Manageress and a series of advertisements for Kenco coffee. She also competed in the 2008 series of Strictly Come Dancing. She is the mother of the actress Nathalie Lunghi.

Lunghi was born in Nottingham. Her father, Alessandro Lunghi, was Italian. She was raised by her mother, aunt and grandmother, seeing her father only occasionally. Lunghi has described herself as feeling "different" as she did not have a mother and father like other children. Lunghi attended Richmond Grammar School in North Yorkshire but has said that she was not academic and far more interested in make believe.

In 2008, she competed in the sixth series of BBC television's Strictly Come Dancing (14 week run), partnered by James Jordan. After her first dance, the Foxtrot on the Ladies Night in week two, she scored the highest points of the first two weeks (33). She beat this score with another series best score of 35/40 for the rumba to finish week four atop the remaining 12 contestants with an average score of 34/40. The score for her third dance, the American Smooth, was an impressive 34 to maintain her average, though she slipped to 31/40 for the Paso Doble, and further to 26/40 on her fifth outing, in the Salsa. She returned to form the following week with a Waltz, scoring 36/40, and was joint first on the leaderboard. She was voted off the competition on 16 November 2008 (week nine), losing by three votes to one in the dance off against model Lisa Snowdon after performing a Cha Cha Cha. In the January/February 2009 Strictly Tour, she danced an American Smooth and a rumba with James Jordan.

Lunghi was briefly married to South African student Ralph Lawson after the pair met while studying at London's Central School of Speech and Drama. She has a daughter, Nathalie Lunghi (b. 1986), with the director Roland Joffé.
