Emma Davies (born 7 March 1970 as Emma-Kate Davies) is an English actress. Her father is actor Geoffrey Davies, from the television comedy series Doctor in the House. She is most notably recognised for her role of Anna De Souza in the ITV soap Emmerdale and for her portrayal of Diana Mitford-Guinness (later Lady Diana Mosley) in the Channel Four mini series Mosley. She currently resides in Barnes, South-West London with her husband Ross Allen, a garden designer and their daughter Camille.
Early Life and Career
Her father, the acclaimed stage and television actor Geoffrey Davies, influenced her choice of career immensely. He would often let her watch his stage performances from the wings as a child. She says that she "watched his plays nearly every night" and "knew all the lines." [1].
He also landed Emma her first television role at the age of 18 months on the 70's sitcom, The Fenn Street Gang. She says, "I was in a pram and had to stuff an ice cream cone into someone's face!" [2]. She also appeared in a commercial for Colgate toothpaste when she was 14.
She trained at the Corona Academy Stage School in London[3], and has been acting in small TV roles since the mid-1980s. In that time she has appeared in renowned television series Heartbeat, Doctors and Sky One's Dream Team.
Her first notable television role was as Juliette Bannerman in the ITV soap, Families in 1993.
In 1997, Emma portrayed the controversial historical figure Diana Mitford (later Diana Mitford-Guinness, and Lady Diana Mosley) in the biographical Channel Four mini-series Mosley.
In 2001, she also had a small role in Michael Apted's popular film Enigma. And in 2007 she was cast alongside David Morrissey, Lucy Cohu and Tristan Gemmill in the short-lived Channel Four drama Cape Wrath, as regular character Abigail York.
In June 2008 it was announced that she would join Emmerdale as Anna De Souza[4][5][6]. She made her debut on the soap on 8 July. However, on 15 October 2008, it was announced that Emma would be leaving the show at the end of 2008, after ITV officially confirmed that the character was intended to be short term. Anna's exit will be closely linked to the exits of her on-screen father, Donald De Souza (Michael Jayston), and on-screen lover Matthew King (Matt Healy).[7]
In an interview on ITV's chat show, Loose Women (12/12/08), Emma announced that she would be starring alongside Laurence Fox, Matthew Macfadyen and Sally Hawkins in ITV's version of E.M.Forster's classic novel, A Passage To India. Filming begins at the end of January and the film will be broadcast in Autumn 2009. [1]
