Biography

Anna was born on July 12, 1976 in Rochdale, Lancashire, England. Her big break came at age 16 with the role of Beth Jordache, British television's first lesbian character, on the serial "Brookside" between 1993 and 1995. She appeared in semi-nude or nude shots in British magazines, and continued acting in such ventures as the 1998 BBC adaptation of "Our Mutual Friend". Friel continued to develop a sex symbol persona with her role in the BBC-2 movie "The Tribe" (1998). Her movie debut was in David Leland's World War II drama "The Land Girls" (1998). She played Ewan McGregor's wife in "Rogue Trader", the biopic of Nick Leeson whose financial dealings brought about the collapse of Barings Bank.,
