Actress[edit]

Is it really fair to say she's an actress? According to the BBC Breakfast profile she once appeared in Spooks playing herself as a news reader or something. When I first read her infobox it gave the impression that she had once been...well a 'proper' actress, if that makes sense. londonsista | ^Prod 22:36, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I shall make the revision now. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 11:03, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am here via the "dukes of hazzard" article where she is listed as one of the many well-known guest stars on the show. this seems unlikely, to say the least, but perhaps she has a fan who entertains ideas of her having had an acting career. fandalism, to give it a name.

Conflicting info[edit]

Why is there so much of it in this article? Info box says she was born Louise Minchin in London, but biography section says she was born in Hong Kong and Minchin is her married name! Does anyone know which set of info is correct? Crisso (talk) 08:07, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
