Vicky McClure
The Best Stories One of the best stories about the gifted yet up front Taurus lovely, Vicky McClure, was when she was flown by private jet to attend the Berlin film festival with Madonna in 2008. She told the Guardian . “It was, like, wow, a whirlwind.” Yet the next day our Vicky was back in her office sorting through mail!” Another “Vicky Story" refers to the Nottingham Express Transit deciding to name a tram after her. Obviously, she was delighted to use the free travel available, but then an overzealous conductor accused her and her mum of fare evasion and threw them both off the tram. She probably made a cup of tea and giggled about the incident in her mum's kitchen. Super Successful The star of the Super Successful "Line of Duty" series is not only a Bafta winning actress with “stop in your tracks” blue eyes and a gorgeous demeanour, she is the epitome of super cool. A “peace man” type without the hippy connotations. The astro tell us her Moon in Pisces ensures a wise and gentle soul walks this earth. For her audience she is a powerful actress who plays their emotions like a fiddle. Her role in one of the highest rated dramas on British TV has had us all on the edge of our seats. Even with 11.4 million viewers tuning into the first series of "Line of Duty" she never let success go to her head; when the series was cancelled due to Covid 19 she still managed to look on the bright side. Disturbed? My Foot! Vicky is usually cast as some disturbed character; she has played an annoying tabloid newspaper reporter in "Broadchurch", a peace campaigning housewife in "Mother's Day," and a psychologically disturbed single mother who survived an abusive childhood in "This is England". But she is nothing like the folks she depicts on screen. Maybe her “happy and amazing childhood” kept her balanced in a cut throat business. Daughter of a hairdresser and a joiner, there are no skeletons lurking in her cupboard. She is upfront about the fact that her parents could not afford to send her to the Italia Conti stage school, for which she was accepted. She joined a theatre workshop in Nottingham, her home town, instead.
