“I looked and felt ridiculous I’m sure people thought I was trying to make a political statement. As I walked up the red carpet, I vowed: ‘If this Oscar thing ever happens for me again, I’ll get a proper frock’.” Her chance would come sooner than she thought. Just four years later, Samantha would once again need to find an ensemble for the most highly-anticipated awards show of the year. But this time she’d be up for the big one best actress for In America.

Born on May 13, 1977, the daughter of a coal miner and a factory worker, Samantha was raised alongside eight siblings in a three-bedroom council house in a poor Nottingham neighbourhood. As a small child, however, an abusive family situation led to her being placed in foster care. “I was finally taken away from home when I went to school with bruises all over me and a bust lip,” she explains. 
The troubled youngster, who says she felt like “an unwanted parcel”, cut loose at the age of 13. Dropping out of school she began to attend Central TV junior workshops. “For the first time in my life I was taken seriously,” she says. “I was told I had talent. I was encouraged and it saved me.”
