Sophie Ward

Sophie Ward is a British actress, the daughter of actor Simon Ward. She was a Vogue model in the 80s, and in the 90s she starred on TV in 'A Village Affair', as a married woman who falls in love with another woman (played by Kerry Fox) and comes to realise that she is a lesbian. What made this particularly interesting was that, a couple of years later, Sophie herself (who had formerly been married and had children) came out in the British press as a lesbian, with an American partner called Rena Brannan. They have since married (well, as much as two women can 'marry' in the UK, anyway) - and I believe they were voted most romantic lesbian couple in a UK poll (though sadly it's not like there was a huge field to choose from!) I must say I love Sophie - she is so beautiful (especially love a picture of her with brown hair as a young actresss - she is naturally blonde). Pictures, and also a couple of interesting interviews with her, can be found here: [url]http://www.clublez.com/movies/lesbian_celebrities/index.html[/url] If you click on "W" at the top, you will find her name. She talks in some detail about the experience of gradually coming to terms with her sexuality. Another *great* interview can be found here: [url]http://www.lifestyle.scotsman.com/drugs/comment_specific.cfm?articleid=1... Again, she talks in some detail about her experience.
