Linette Beaumont was born, is Actress, Producer. Linette Beaumont embodies twisted turmoil in her portrayal of a tormented ex-wife killing for love in the film The Prowler, in which she won Best Lead Actress in a Short Film, 2017 Best Shorts Competition California; Best Performance, Toronto Film Festival 2017; and was nominated for Best Lead Actress, Madrid Film Festival 2017. The film won Best British Film 2016 in the U.K.She's played characters with rough edges in notable British TV shows. In 2018, she will appear on the popular detective drama Endeavour Series V in the role of Paulette. A portrayal of Cherish Hylton on EastEnders took a saucy turn and work on the Doctors offered guilt and vulnerability.Her trademark emotional versatility led writer-director Daniel Yost (co-writer, Drugstore Cowboy) to cast her as the lead in the film Melody's Tune where a dysfunctional mother abandons her daughter on the streets and the girl invents a soothing good mother. Linette plays both the negligent mother, Wanda, and the girl's imaginary good mother, Lulu.A connection with audiences comes naturally. "She has that quality that all the great stars have...the camera loves her," says Jeffrey Kramer, Executive Producer, CBS, USA.Stories were ingrained in Linette during her early years living along the coast near Essex. Her late father, chief herdsman at the Hatfield House and her late mother, an opera singer from New Zealand, enrolled her in classical ballet at age three.Tragedy struck when her father fell ill, couldn't work, and the family settled in public housing in Essex. He died when she was 12. Linette worked to help support the family and pursued the arts, dancing into her 20s until a glass shard cut a ligament in her foot.The setback opened a door to acting and studies at Drama Centre London. Before she graduated in 2001, she was cast opposite David Hayman in Trial and Retribution, created and written by Lynda LaPlante. Success also came on the stage where her interpretation of Lady Macbeth was hailed as a "vividly portrayed, compelling performance" (UK Theatre Network Review).In addition to television and film, Linette has performed to critical acclaim in London in productions as Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare's Macbeth, and Lady Teazle in A School for Scandal, Martha Dobie in The Children's Hour, and Libby in Blue Window.She is lending her talents to raise funds for the charity Kids for Kids by involving performing arts schools across the U.K. and give aid to at-risk children in Sudan.
