Timeline

1952

Cherie Mary Lunghi (born 4 April 1952) is an English film, television, theatre actress and voice over artist.

She is known for her roles in many British dramas.

1970

After graduating from Homerton College, Cambridge and London's Central School of Speech and Drama, she joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in the late 1970s, taking leading roles such as Perdita, Celia, and Viola.

1975

The 1975 marriage was one of convenience so that Lawson could remain in the UK.

The couple never lived together as husband and wife, instead staying in separate homes in Newcastle.

Lawson moved back to South Africa two years later to take a new job.

1979

She had a starring role in the 1979 British short film Diversion (the prototype for the 1987 U.S. film Fatal Attraction).

1980

In the mid-1980s, she relocated to Los Angeles for eight years, but returned to England to care for her mother.

After the birth of her daughter she took various short-term parts, including playing the band members' mutual love interest in the music video for Level 42's song "Something About You".

Lunghi has described how she had been working during pregnancy and was working again three months after giving birth, saying, "it was working mother guilt. I was juggling and balancing, trying to be fair to my career and to my child. Nathalie would come everywhere with me."

1981

Her international fame stems from her role as Guinevere in the 1981 film Excalibur.

In 1981 she landed the role of Guinevere in the film Excalibur.

1982

She starred in the 1982 television serial Praying Mantis, based on the book (Les Mantes Religieuses) by Hubert Monteilhet.

The thriller co-starred Pinkas Braun, Carmen du Sautoy, and Jonathan Pryce.

1985

In 1985 Lunghi played Michal in King David alongside Edward Woodward and Richard Gere.

She also appeared alongside Robert De Niro in The Mission.

Lunghi told author Paul Stenning, "It was wonderful working with him, it was extraordinary actually. He transforms right in front of you. You are aware when watching him on screen that he has transformed – he is not Robert De Niro – he is somebody else. I don't think you can learn how to do that; it's just the power of your imagination."

1986

She has a daughter, Nathalie Lunghi (b. 1986), with the director Roland Joffé.

Her stage credits include:

1989

Lunghi took on the lead role in football drama The Manageress (1989–90), and participated in the BBC adaptation of Edith Wharton's posthumously published novel, The Buccaneers (1995), as Laura Testvalley.

After her first dance, the Foxtrot on the Ladies Night in week two, she scored the highest points of the first two weeks (33).

She beat this score with another series-best score of 35/40 for the rumba to finish week four atop the remaining 12 contestants with an average score of 34/40.

The score for her third dance, the American Smooth, was an impressive 34 to maintain her average, though she slipped to 31/40 for the Paso Doble, and further to 26/40 on her fifth outing, in the Salsa.

She returned to form the following week with a Waltz, scoring 36/40, and was joint first on the leaderboard.

She was voted off the competition on 16 November 2008 (week nine), losing by three votes to one in the dance-off against model Lisa Snowdon after performing a Cha-Cha-Cha.
