Suranne Jones (born Sarah Anne Jones; 27 August 1978) is an English actress. She first rose to prominence playing the role of Karen McDonald in ITV1's soap opera ''Coronation Street'' over a period of four years. In 2004, she left ''Coronation Street'', finding herself looking to experience different roles and present herself as a more capable actress. Upon leaving, Jones took on roles in drama series broadcasts on ITV1, including ''Vincent'', ''Strictly Confidential'' and ''Harley Street''. Jones' role as a woman convicted of the murder of two police officers in ''Unforgiven'' garnered her critical acclaim and her subsequent roles in the BBC One dramas ''Five Days'' and ''Single Father'' were also well received. Since 2011, Jones has starred in ''Scott & Bailey'' as DC Rachel Bailey, with the television series being an original idea conceived by Jones herself and fellow actress Sally Lindsay. Jones also received acclaim for her portrayal of a human incarnation of the iconic TARDIS in a 2011 episode of long-running BBC science fiction series ''Doctor Who''. In addition to her television career, Jones is also a stage performer, having acted in productions of Caryl Churchill's ''Top Girls'' and Noël Coward's ''Blithe Spirit'' among others. ==Early life== Jones was born Sarah Anne Jones in Chadderton, Oldham, on 27 August 1978,〔 the daughter of Chris and Jenny Jones, an engineer and a secretary, respectively. She also has a sibling, an older brother named Gary. Jones was brought up a Catholic; her priest suggested to her father she be christened Sarah Anne, instead of Suranne, her great-grandmother's name, as Suranne was not "a proper name". Jones grew up in a house on Foxdenton Lane, surrounded by two farms and their fields and commented that one of her earliest memories is of "cows looking in the window as we ate our tea".〔 As a child she was talkative, and later recounted that her priest would say to her: "I'm praying you can concentrate just a bit more".〔 Jones suffers from carpophobia (fear of wrists), which she believes possibly developed from viewing imagery of Christ's crucifixion and stigmata as a child. Jones was educated at Cardinal Langley Roman Catholic High School.〔 Talking of her childhood, Jones commented that "I think I always wanted to be different and felt very stifled at school".〔 Jones also said: "I was bullied at school and I let that get hold of me and withdrew into myself — I regret letting that happen". She became a member of the Oldham Theatre Workshop, where she befriended Antony Cotton, who now plays Sean Tully on ''Coronation Street''.〔 She completed a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts, though she felt "that () quite the same as drama school". 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「Suranne Jones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
