- Sara Dee, an Actress and Voice Artist is known for; 'Meg2', 'In Fabric', 'Cute Little Buggers', 'Borley Rectory' and 'The Haunting Of Margam Castle' and performs a plethora of ADR characters in many feature films including seven Ben Wheatley movies. Acquiring a front credit on her first feature, an award nomination for a powerful stage role, national press attention when co-starring with a British comedy legend at Pinewood Studios and a welcome guest on a private jet and yacht, during her Cannes debut starring in a 35mm film, Sara's career was loaded with promise.
British born, in Cheshire, NW England, Sara studied for her acting career in her home county and in London, building a unique portfolio of disciplines from various institutions and academies as well as investing in private lessons, with both British and American tutors. This diverse training usefully honed her existing talent and prepared her for a varied performing career.
Sara's engaging voice and vibrant personality initially made her a successful presenter, most prominently on Granada's '2 Wheels' programme and on BBC Radio. Voice over work easily followed. A mix of these skills launched her into many ADR characters in feature films and animations and she became known as 'The Voice Of Ben Wheatley's World' with work on features from 'Down Terrace' to 'Meg2'; four voices on 'High Rise' and three on 'Sightseers' alone.
Whilst reporting for the BBC 'Cinema 2' radio programme, she met an American director who offered Sara her first screen-acting role. During production she was recommended, cast and given a front credit on her first feature film, 'Chasing Dreams' that premiered at The London Film Festival. Sara's BBC reporting work made her a welcome guest at the major UK studios and she found a 'home' at Pinewood. Her industrious enthusiasm attracted mentors from Oscar winning Sound Editor, the late Don Sharpe to Producer Larry De Waay.
Sara also met comedy legend Sir Norman Wisdom and was chosen to be his British co-star for his feature 'Adam & Evil.' A year of National Press attention began. During this time a TV producer recommended Sara to director Bob Keen who cast her as 'The Broadcaster' in his movie 'Jim's Gift'. Broadcast on Sky and UK's Channel 5, this feature became Sara's television acting debut. Sara was again recruited to work along side Sir Norman Wisdom in the star-studded spoof 1950's sci-fi film, 'Cosmic Lost And Found,' arguably making Sara Dee his last leading lady.
Sara's Cannes debut was a starring role, Lauren, in the 35mm film 'Cafe D' Paris.' Her first Cannes Festival began with travelling on Quantel's private Lear jet to celebrate the premiere on a luxury yacht together with top personnel from Fuji, Lee Lighting, Panavision and Technicolor.
It was Sara's portrayal of a powerful dominatrix, 'Mistress Angel,' in the unpublished play 'Satisfaction Guaranteed,' that earned her a 'Performance Artist Of The Year Award' nomination and made her a desirable option for casting in formidable women roles, like her ruthless journalist, 'Margaret Rawlins' in Lynda La Plante's ITV (UK) drama series, 'The Commander', directed by Charles Beeson.
Sara was recommended to The Royal Court Theatre to work with the Artistic Director Ian Rickson appearing in Jez Butterworth's 'The Night Heron', alongside an all-star cast. Her supportive networking abilities led to her being chosen by director Andy Wilson to play 'Lady Hysteria' in his opulent BBC feature 'Riot At The Rite'.
Martin Pavey's highly acclaimed thriller 'Flash Back' starring Sara, provoked BAFTA luminaries to suggest Sara as a candidate for 'The Rising Star Award'. Written by Andy Davie, this film also marked her Hollywood debut screening. The same team worked again on '15' with Sara starring as Sharon, a film that ran in festivals for over two years.
Dreams of working in more supernatural films came true with Peter Strickland's 'In Fabric', Ashley Thorpe's 'Borley Rectory' and 'The Haunting Of Margam Castle' from Andrew Jones.
Sara excels at encouraging others to let their creative talent shine, from supporting new writers to finding funds to help features complete their production. She is a committee member of the networking Media Lunch Club and also produces her own short films. Sara Dee is proud to have been given the 'Performance Artist Award', by The Tree Of Hope Children's Charity and continues to work on film, stage and television.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
