Born in [[Broughton, Greater Manchester|Broughton]], [[Salford]], [[Lancashire]], she attended three different primary schools. After failing the eleven-plus examination to qualify for grammar school, she went to Broughton Secondary School, where she saw her first stage production, an amateur performance of [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Othello]]''. She was twelve at the time and the play made a lasting impression.
