Anne-Marie Duff

Anne-Marie Duff

Best known for playing Elizabeth I in The Virgin Queen and Fiona Gallagher in Shameless.

When she starred in 2006's The Virgin Queen, Anne-Marie became the latest in a long line of acclaimed actresses to play Queen Elizabeth I, following the likes of Bette Davis, Glenda Jackson and Helen Mirren.

In complete contrast, she was BAFTA nominated for her role as Fiona Gallagher in the hit Channel 4 drama Shameless.  She was stunned to land the part of a 20-year-old character at the age of 30.  When Anne-Marie first read the scripts for Shameless, she says she didn't realise it was a comedy - she thought it was a gritty drama!
