Biography:Trained at the East 15 Acting School, British actress "Alison Steadman" worked as a secretary for the Liverpool Probation Service before making her professional stage bow in 1968. Five years later, Steadman made her London theatrical debut. She won a plethora of awards for her rendition of the title role in both the stage and film version of "Abigail's Party". This and several subsequent productions were directed by Steadman's former husband, "Mike Leigh". She has starred in the British TV series Wackers (1975) and "Gone to Seed" (1992), and has made a number of conspicuous film appearances since her 1982 screen debut in "Kipperbang". American TV viewers will remember Steadman as Mrs. Marlowe in the wildly eccentric "Dennis Potter" miniseries "The Singing Detective". More recently, Alison Steadman was seen as Mrs. Bennet in the 1995 British TV-miniseries production of "Pride and Prejudice". ~ Hal... Full Biography
