Anna Friel

Anna Louise Friel is an English actress who rose to dame (at least in the UK) as Beth Jordache on the Channel 4 soap Brookside.

Friel is a friend of controversy, back in 1996 she appeared in the television film The Tribe, which included nudity and a much discussed ménage à trois sex scene between characters played by Friel, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Jeremy Northam.

She has been on a bunch of shows and movies, but you probably remember her as Charlotte “Chuck” Charles in the short-lived Pushing Daisies.
