The following biography
is from
Wikipedia.org
“The
Free Encyclopedia.”
Rachel Claire Ward (born at
Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, September 12, 1957), granddaughter
of the 3rd Earl of Dudley, is an English actress (and more
recently, a director) who has made most of her career in
Australia.
She attended the Byam Shaw School of Art in
London before leaving at 16 to become a top fashion model. In 1983 she
was voted one of the ten most beautiful women in the United States.
She became well known when she starred
opposite Richard Chamberlain in the television mini-series The Thorn
Birds. She disappeared from pictures for three years and studied acting.
Ward then reappeared in 1987, playing opposite her husband, Bryan Brown
(whom she met on the set of The Thorn Birds), in The Good Wife. Married
since 1983, they have three children: Rosie, Matilda (who has followed
her parents into the acting profession), and Joe.
In 2003, a portrait of Rachel Ward by
artist Jan Williamson won the Packing Room award at the Archibald Prize.
