Lindy Hemming

She studied stage management and design at RADA. On graduation, she began in London's Fringe Theatre, the Open Space Theatre and Hampstead Theatre Club. This all led to West End productions, and commissions from The Royal Shakespeare Company and The National Theatre. She was recruited by London Weekend Television to work on their productions, until, in 1983, having built up a good reputation, she began working in feature films. She worked on 'Loose Connections' and 'Laughterhouse' for Richard Eyre and 'High Hopes'' and 'Naked' for Mike Leigh, as well as 'Life is Sweet' and 'My Beautiful Laundrette ' for Stephen Frears.
