Margi Clarke (born 1954) is an English actress (her name is pronounced with a hard 'g'). She was born in Liverpool, Lancashire,〔"Lancashire" is correct. Merseyside did not exist prior to 1 April 1974〕 and brought up in nearby Kirkby, and is known for her Scouse accent and platinum-blonde hair. ==Early career== Her launch into show business came in 1978, as a presenter on the late-night entertainment magazine show, ''What's On'', which was just shown in the ITV Granada region. She was known then simply as Margox. In 1983 Clarke appeared as 'Fran' in episodes 54 and 66 of the Liverpool-set Channel 4 soap opera ''Brookside'', credited as Margi MacGregor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.brooksidesoapbox.co.uk/guide_2.htm )〕 Her brother Frank wrote her in, because, as she later said, she "had a gas bill which I couldn't pay". She first came to prominence in 1985 after starring in the low-budget cult film ''Letter to Brezhnev'' about two working class Liverpool girls who meet two Russian sailors. The film was made for approximately £50,000 (Clarke called this "the cocaine budget on ''Rambo''"), and became a huge international hit. Margi originated her role of Theresa in ''Letter to Brezhnev'' some three years earlier when she played the role in a modest run at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1983. In 1986, at the ''Evening Standard British Film Awards'', Clarke took the prize for "Most Promising Newcomer". She followed this with the European art-house trilogy for the Kaurismäki brothers (''I Hired a Contract Killer'', ''Helsinki Napoli All Night Long'' and ''L.A. Without a Map''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margi Clarke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
