Striking
blond British actress who began her acting career
at the age of four, as the daughter of Mia Farrow
and Bruce Dern in The Great Gatsby (1974). She
appeared in The Blue Bird (1976), Hanover Street
(1979), as well as many British TV and stage productions
but made her first big splash as singing star
Crepe Suzette in the stylish Absolute Beginners
(1986). She went on to appear in A Chorus of Disapproval
(1988), Lethal Weapon II (1990), and achieved
her greatest critical success as an outspoken
young woman in Twenty-One (1991).
The stardom that was predicted after the Lethal
Weapon exposure hasn't materialized, but Kensit
has kept busy in both television and theatrical
films including Blame It on the Bellboy, Blue
Tornado, Timebomb (all 1991), The Turn of the
Screw (1992), Bitter Harvest and Full Eclipse
(both 1993, the latter made for TV). She came
full circle in her career by playing Mia Farrow
in the TV miniseries "Love and Betrayal:
The Mia Farrow Story" (1995).
