British movie icon who won a BAFTA for gritty BBC drama series after starring in a string of rom-coms commands attention at West End opening of her new play - but can you guess who it is?


The actress, now 60, was joined by the likes of Deborah Findlay, Mark Strong, Sonia Friedman and Romola Garai for the photocall at Sophie's Soho to promote the theatre adaptation.

Her breakthrough came in Richard Curtis's 1999 classic Notting Hill which saw her play Bella, one of the best friends of main character William Thacker ( Hugh Grant) who attempts in vain to organise dates for him so he can move on from Hollywood actress Anna Scott ( Julia Roberts). The Years sees Eline Arbo adapt Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux's much-acclaimed play following sold out runs at the Almeida Theatre and Internationaal Theater Amsterdam. She was joined by the likes of Anjli Mohindra, Gina McKee, Deborah Findlay, Sonia Friedman, Eline Arbo, Harmony Rose-Bremner and Romola Garai (L-R) and Mark Strong (not pictured)
