Nicola Jane Cowper (born 21 December 1967) is a British actress. Cowper is the younger sister of twin actresses Gerry Cowper and Jackie Cowper.〔Matthewman, Scott; ("Could Cindy return to EastEnders" ) ''TheStage.co.uk'', 5 July 2007 (Retrieved: 6 September 2009)〕 Cowper made an impression as a film actress in her early career, but she is best known for her work on British television, in particular her role as D.S Helen Diamond in BBC's ''Dangerfield''. ==Career== Cowper's career began in the 1980s. She made early appearances on television in programmes such as ''Break in the Sun'' (1981), ''S.W.A.L.K'' (1982), ''A Game of Soldiers'' (1983) and ''Minder'' (1984) and then went on to appear in several feature films. Her film credits include ''Dreamchild''; (1985); ''Underworld'' (1985); ''Lionheart'' (1987) and ''Journey to the Center of the Earth'' (1989). Leading film directors David Puttnam and Francis Ford Coppola tipped Cowper "for the top" after she appeared in the American films ''Lionheart'' and ''Dreamchild''— her performance in ''Dreamchild'' has been described as "excellent" and "impressive".〔Rick, Hewett; ("DANGERFIELD'S GIRL TO MARRY JAILED ROBBER" ) ''Sunday Mirror'', 15 September 1996 (Retrieved: 6 September 2009)〕〔("DREAMCHILD * * * *" ) ''Moria.co.nz'' (Retrieved: 6 September 2009)〕 However, it has since been commented that Cowper "never went onto consolidate her career" and "fairly much vanished into occasional appearances on British television."〔 Cowper has since appeared in a variety of British television series, which includes: ''Inspector Morse'' (1991); ''Rides'' (1992–1993); ''Casualty'' (1992); ''Holby City'' (2000); ''The Bill''; ''Devices and Desires'' (1990); as Deborah Wade in the BBC's ''Real Men'' (2003); as Edith West in ''The Grand'' (1998) and ''Judge John Deed'' (2007), among others. She has also played the recurring character Gina Williams—the sister of Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins)—in BBC's ''EastEnders'' on four separate occasions—she first appeared in 1998, then returned briefly in 1999 and 2007, before reprising the role for the latest time in 2014. However, Cowper is possibly best known for playing D.S Helen Diamond in four series of the BBC's police drama, ''Dangerfield'', between 1996 and 1999. 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「Nicola Cowper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
