Miranda Richardson was born in England on March 3rd 1958. She comes from Southport in Lancashire (near
Liverpool), and has one sister, eight years her senior. Her parents and sister are not involved in the performing arts. At
an early age, she performed in school plays, having shown a talent and desire to 'turn herself into' other people. She left
school (Southport High School for Girls) at the age of 17, and originally intended becoming a vet. She also considered studying
English literature in College, but decided to concentrate on drama and enrolled at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (as
did many well-known British actors). After three years she graduated and moved into repertory theatre.
