Matilda Ziegler (born 23 July 1964) is an English television, stage and film actress best known for her roles as Pearl Pratt in Lark Rise to Candleford, Irma Gobb in ''Mr. Bean'' (Mr. Bean's girlfriend) and as Donna Ludlow in the long-running BBC1 serial ''EastEnders'' and Ruth in the BBC Three sitcom ''Swiss Toni''. ==Television career== Matilda Ziegler's first screen role remains her most notable. In her early twenties, during 1987–89, she appeared on ''EastEnders'', playing the scheming Donna Ludlow, the illegitimate daughter of series regular Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth). After trying to reunite with her mother and being immediately rejected by her, Donna contended with prostitution, an attempted gang rape, a heroin addiction and finally suicide (dying of a heroin overdose). The final death scenes of Ziegler's character, who had choked to death on her own vomit, have been hailed as one of the most powerful anti-drug images ever screened on the programme. After leaving ''EastEnders'' in April 1989 Ziegler went on to star in the ITV sitcom ''Mr. Bean'', where she played various characters, notably a four-episode stint as Irma Gobb, the title character's long-suffering girlfriend. Other television credits include ''Harbour Lights'' (1999), acting alongside Nick Berry, who also played her love interest, Simon Wicks, in ''EastEnders''; ''Where the Heart Is'' (2000); ''Holby City'' (2003); ''Casualty''; ''An Unsuitable Job for a Woman'' (1998) and the ITV police drama, ''The Bill'' (2003), among others. Ziegler played Ruth, wife of car salesman Toni, in the BBC sitcom ''Swiss Toni'' (2003–04). She also appeared in the BAFTA Television Award-winning drama, ''Sex Traffic'' (2004). In 2005 she played Christine Miller in the fourth series of ''The Inspector Lynley Mysteries'' and in 2007 guest-starred in the BBC Birmingham/BBC One medical drama ''Doctors''. She played the part of Pearl Pratt in the BBC adaptations of ''Lark Rise to Candleford'' in 2008–11. She appeared in one episode of ''Outnumbered'' and one episode of ''Death in Paradise'' (2013). In 2015 she appeared in an episode of ''Foyle's War'' and Episode 6 of Series 4 of ''Call the Midwife''. 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「Matilda Ziegler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
