Recent role in…
Bjorn of the Dead
Look out for my cameo in ‘Bjorn of the Dead’’ (working title), a zombie/music adventure starring Calam Lynch, Amber Grappy, James Cartwright and Amelia Eve. It was lovely to be reunited with the film’s director (and former actress) Sara Sugarman, 39 years after we worked together on Alex Cox movie Sid and Nancy, I play Jett, a no-nonsense rockin ‘punk-gran’ who becomes entangled with the undead.
