Hi!

​

This is me, the original Veruca Salt from the 1971 film ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’.

​

I have finally got around to setting up a website, as I have been so upset at the number of fake autographed photos etc that I have seen. It upsets me that people are being ripped off, so soon you will be able to get your official photos directly from me, with a dedication if you wish.

​

I'm in the process of putting together some exciting content for the online store so please bear with me...  full details coming soon!!! 

​

Bits you might not know:

 

After Willy Wonka, I appeared in several TV series in the UK and WW&TCF was forgotten for a long while.

 

I was in a series called ‘And Mother Makes Three’, as a child, and later 3 series of BBC’s ‘Angels’, playing  Nurse Jo Longhurst, who was at last a ‘nice’ girl. Then back to baddies again, with the awful Rowella, in the original BBC series of  ‘Poldark’.  Lots of other bits and pieces including a role in a film remake of ‘Camille’ with gorgeous Colin Firth.

​

I retired from acting about 10 years ago, to train as a psychotherapist and I now work for a cancer charity. I have two children, both grown up, and happily neither of them are like Veruca Salt.

​

I live in Hampshire, England, with my dog Hudson, who occasionally is more like a ‘Vermicious Knid’, note to self: must do more dog training!

​

Scrumdidlyumptiously yours,
