Mary Woodvine – actor

Published: Jan. 2, 2023, 5 a.m.

International focus is on Mary as she takes the lead in Mark Jenkin’s highly anticipated follow-up to Bait – Enys Men. She’s appeared in countless theatre productions across Cornwall and was a core member of Kneehigh Theatre in the 90s. And she’s been seen on our small screens in everything from Eastenders to Poldark. Mary talks about the challenge of taking on the intense role, the responsibility of being a leading lady in her 50s, the nightmare of her first day on EastEnders and scooping the naughtiest line of the series in Poldark.
