Sarah Douglas

Even though 'Sarah Douglas' (qv) was born and raised in Stratford-Upon-Avon, and knew that she wanted to act, she did try to expand options available to her. She worked in a factory and for a time, also in a sterilizing department of a hospital. She briefly moved to France and also undertook a teacher training course in English and Drama. However, these were all abandoned in favour of acting. Soon after leaving Drama School, she won her first film role in _The Final Programme (1973)_ (qv) as well as starring in the television series _The Inheritors (1974)_ (qv). Other work began to follow, including the television series _Space: 1999 (1975)_ (qv) and the films _The Brute (1977)_ (qv) and _The People That Time Forgot (1977)_ (qv). During the filming, the casting began for the science fiction blockbuster _Superman (1978)_ (qv). And the rest is history.::A. Nonymous
