Early life and education[]

Sarah Caroline Colman[4] was born in Norwich on 30 January 1974,[5][6] the daughter of nurse Mary (née Leakey) and chartered surveyor Keith Colman.[7][8] She was privately educated at Norwich High School for Girls and Gresham's School in Holt, Norfolk. Her first role was Jean Brodie in a school production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie at the age of 16.[9] She cites her mother's interrupted career as a ballet dancer as an inspiration to pursue acting professionally.[10] Colman spent a term studying primary teaching at Homerton College, Cambridge before studying drama at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, from which she graduated in 1999.[11] During her time at Cambridge, she auditioned for the Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club and met future co-stars David Mitchell and Robert Webb.[12][11][13][14][15]

Colman was a subject of the UK genealogy programme Who Do You Think You Are? in July 2018.[16] Although she expected that her family tree would mainly relate to Norfolk, it was discovered that her fourth great-grandfather, Richard Campbell Bazett, had been born on the island of Saint Helena[17] and that he worked in London for the East India Company.[18] Bazett's son, Colman's third great-grandfather Charles Bazett, married Harriot Slessor. Researchers discovered that she was born in the Indian city of Kishanganj, lost her British father when she was aged three, and then made the journey to England alone.[18] Slessor's passage was paid for by her paternal grandmother.[19] The episode speculated that Slessor's mother might have been Indian, but did not present concrete proof; after the episode aired, the Berkshire Record Office published the will of Slessor's mother, which proved that her name was Seraphina Donclere, evidently of European origin, and that she had died in 1810.[20][21]

Acting career[]

2000s[]

Colman made her professional acting debut in 2000, at the age of 26, as part of the BBC2 comedy sketch show Bruiser. She has since appeared in roles in many BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 television series, such as People Like Us, Look Around You, Black Books, The Office, The Time of Your Life and provided the voice-over for Five's poll for Britain's Funniest Comedy Character.

Colman regularly featured in BBC Radio 4 comedies, such as Concrete Cow, Think the Unthinkable, The House of Milton Jones and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. She was also the voice of Minka, the Polish secretary in the Radio 4 comedy Hut 33, set in a fictional codebreaking hut of the real-life Bletchley Park during World War II.[22] Colman appeared as Bev, alongside Mark Burdis as Kev, in a series of television adverts for AA car insurance. She provided voices for the Andrex "be kind to your behind" adverts and Glade fragrance adverts, where her character is a gorilla.

On several projects, Colman has worked with the comedians Mitchell and Webb.[13] She joined them in 2003 to play the role of Sophie in the Channel 4 comedy Peep Show. Other joint ventures have included radio's That Mitchell and Webb Sound, and the television version That Mitchell and Webb Look. She decided to leave the programme after her agent suggested that she was becoming too closely associated with their work and needed to widen her horizons: a decision that was made "with tears".[23] She continued to appear on Peep Show, though less often, until it ended in 2015.

Colman also had a recurring role in the surreal comedy Green Wing from 2004 to 2006. One of her earliest film credits include naturist Joanna Roberts in the 2006 mockumentary film Confetti – a role she once described as "the worst experience of my life".[13]

In 2007, Colman starred as Alice in the comedy Grow Your Own, and PC Doris Thatcher in the action comedy Hot Fuzz. She also played a lead role in Paddy Considine's short film Dog Altogether. In October and November 2008, Colman appeared in the BBC sitcom Beautiful People, based on the life of Simon Doonan, as Debbie Doonan, Simon's mother. She also made a guest appearance in Skins, in the episode "Naomi" as Naomi's mother Gina.

2010s[]

In 2010, Colman took a leading role as Alex Smallbone, the wife of an inner-city vicar, in the BBC sitcom Rev. starring Tom Hollander. The series ran from 2010 to 2014. Also in 2010, she guest starred in "The Eleventh Hour" episode of Doctor Who, Matt Smith's debut as the Eleventh Doctor. In 2011, Colman appeared in the BBC drama Exile, written by Danny Brocklehurst and starring John Simm and Jim Broadbent. From 2011 to 2012, she played Sally Owen, the lovelorn secretary to Hugh Bonneville's character Ian Fletcher, in Twenty Twelve, a comedy series about planning for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Colman reteamed with Considine for his feature directorial debut, Tyrannosaur (2011). For her role in the film, she won the BIFA Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a British Independent Film and the Empire Award for Best Actress.[24] Also in 2011, Colman played Carol Thatcher in the Academy Award-winning drama film The Iron Lady, with Meryl Streep and Jim Broadbent, for which she was awarded the London Film Critics' Circle Award for British Actress of the Year.[25]

In 2013, Colman began playing DS Ellie Miller in ITV's Broadchurch. The crime drama series is set in the fictional Dorset town of Broadchurch, and follows the residents of a tight-knit community after a young boy is found dead on a beach under suspicious circumstances.[26][27] She was nominated for an International Emmy Award for Best Actress and won a BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for her performance.[28] Also in 2013, she starred as Margaret Lea, opposite Vanessa Redgrave, in the BBC television film The Thirteenth Tale.[29]

In 2015, Colman starred in Yorgos Lanthimos' absurdist dystopian film The Lobster with Rachel Weisz and Colin Farrell,[30] The film premiered at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival where it competed for the Palme d'Or and received the Jury Prize. For her performance Colman was nominated for the London Film Critics' Circle Award for Supporting Actress of the Year and won the BIFA Award for Best Supporting Actress.[31]

In 2016, Colman received praise for her performance as Angela Burr in the AMC/BBC miniseries The Night Manager, for which she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award and received a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film.[32] That same year, she starred as Deborah Flowers in the Channel 4 black comedy series Flowers.[33] She also provided the voice of Strawberry in the Netflix/BBC animated miniseries Watership Down.[34] In 2017, she played Princess Dragomiroff's lady's maid Hildegarde Schmidt in Kenneth Branagh's remake of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.

In 2018, Colman starred as Queen Anne in Lanthimos' film The Favourite, opposite Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz. In preparation for the role, she gained 16 kg (35 lb) in weight.[4] For her performance, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical,[35] and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.[36] Colman also won the Academy Award for Best Actress.[37][38][39] Her awe-struck and humorous Academy Awards acceptance speech was widely covered in the media.[40][41][42]

Colman also received positive reviews for her supporting role as Madame Thénardier in the 2018 BBC miniseries Les Misérables, an adaptation of the novel of the same name.[43] In August 2019, she was confirmed as a guest star as Lily in the thirty-second season of the animated comedy series The Simpsons.[44]

In October 2017, Colman was cast as Queen Elizabeth II in the third and fourth season of the Netflix historical drama series The Crown.[45] The third season was released in November 2019. For her performance, she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.[46][47] The fourth season was released on 15 November 2020, to critical acclaim.[48]

In 2020, Colman starred alongside Anthony Hopkins in Florian Zeller's film adaptation of his stage play, The Father, which focuses on an elderly man dealing with memory loss. The film premiered to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, was picked up for distribution by Sony Pictures Classics.[49] The film began a limited release on 26 February 2021,[50] after originally being scheduled to be released on 18 December 2020.[51] Hopkins and Colman have received widespread acclaim for their performances, as has the film itself for its accurate depiction of dementia. The film received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, while Colman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.[52]

In April 2021, Colman joined the cast of the Disney+ series Secret Invasion, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[53] The show is set to premiere in 2022.[54]

Personal life[]

In the late 1990s, while performing in a Footlights production of Sir Alan Ayckbourn's Table Manners, Colman met Ed Sinclair, then a third-year law student who had become disillusioned with law and preferred to write.[55][56][57] Colman and Sinclair married in August 2001,[9] and have three children together.[58] They live in South London.[59]

Since 2013, she has been a judge on the panel of the Norwich Film Festival.[60] In August 2014, Colman was one of 200 public figures who signed a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to the September 2014 referendum on the issue.[61] In November 2020, she signed an open letter condemning violence and discrimination against trans women.[62]

Philanthropy[]

In 2013, Colman presented two awards at the Mind Media Awards,[63] which celebrate accurate, responsible and sensitive portrayals of mental health across all areas of the media. Colman believes that "the media industry has huge influence and with that comes a responsibility to contest the stigma that sadly still exists, through accurate representation." Colman has spoken openly to the Big Issue about her experience of postnatal depression after the birth of her first child.[9]

Inspired by her research for the film Tyrannosaur, in 2014, Colman became the patron of the UK charity Tender, which uses theatre and the arts to educate young people about how to prevent violence and sexual abuse. Colman says that domestic violence prevention can make a real difference in the lives of young people.[64] Other charity work included participating in the Alzheimer's Society's Holkham Hall Memory Walk in September 2013. Colman's great-grandmother suffered from dementia and her mother was involved in running a nursing home for sufferers.[65] Colman has also given support to charity campaigns for the Marie Curie Great Daffodil Appeal (care for the terminally ill).[66] Colman became Patron of blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan in 2018,[67] which Colman says helped a friend of hers.[68]

In December 2014, Colman was involved in a BBC Radio documentary about the plight of women in Afghanistan on behalf of Amnesty International UK. Several women who told their stories to journalist Lyse Doucet were unable to appear because their lives might have been at risk. Colman read their stories as part of the documentary. In response to the work, Colman warned that the UK must not abandon Afghan women to the Taliban.[69]
