Bio:
American-born character player Zoe Wanamaker, daughter of actor-director Sam 
Wanamaker, moved at the age of three to England, where her father championed 
the rebuilding of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London.
Not blessed with the cute nose or sensual mouth of the ingenue, she put her 
"interesting" looks to good service in repertory of the highest possible 
standard, performing extensively at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the 
National Theatre, in roles ranging from classical (Viola in "Twelfth Night") 
to musical comedy (Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls"). American audiences cheered 
her as Toine in "Piaf" (1981) and as Fay in "Loot" (1986), both performances 
earning her Tony nominations as Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play.

Sam Wanamaker was a famous US actor in films and TV.  He played both leading 
man and character parts, but was probably know more for the latter.  He was 
hurt by the Hollywood blacklisting of the late 1940s and early 1950s, and 
chose to remain in England for many years after making a film there.
