Anna-Louise Plowman (born 9 May 1972) is a New Zealand-born actress.

Early life and education

Plowman was born in New Zealand to British parents. She attended Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, Wellington, between 1982 and 1989, and then the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and the Lecoq School in Paris.[1]

Career

She played consultant anaesthetist Annalese Carson in Holby City and Sarah Gardner/Osiris in Stargate SG-1. In 2003 she played Melinda MacLean, wife of British communist spy Donald Maclean, and mistress of spy Kim Philby (played by her husband Toby Stephens), in the TV mini-series Cambridge Spies.

She played Diana Goddard in the Doctor Who story "Dalek" in 2005. Plowman also played the role of "C" in a revival of Edward Albee's play, Three Tall Women, in 2006, at the Oxford Playhouse.

Plowman and Stephens performed together as Sibyl and Elyot in Jonathan Kent's revival of Private Lives for the 2012 Chichester Festival,[2] reprised at the Gielgud Theatre in 2013.[3][4]

From 2016 to 2017, she played chamber maid Mrs Hudson in the series Black Sails, which also starred her husband Toby Stephens.

Personal life

Plowman married actor Toby Stephens, son of actors Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens, in London, in 2001. In 2007, Plowman and Stephens had their first child.[5] British playwright Simon Gray, who wrote Japes, a stage play, and Missing Dates, a radio drama, both of which starred Stephens, was the child's godfather.[6][7] Their daughters were born in 2009[8] and in 2010, respectively.
