Vivien Keene(I)

Vivien was born in Hampton Hill, Middlesex; but was raised in Tiverton, Devon. She then went to the Drama Centre in London. Since then she has worked for more than forty years - mainly in the theatre - and was a member of Sir Peter Hall's theatre company at the Theatre Royal, Bath, on tour and in the West End. She was in The Vortex with Felicity Kendall and Dan Stevens and Pygmalion with Michelle Dockery and Tim Pigott-Smith. Her first television role was in an episode of All Creatures Great And Small called A Place of Honour, back in the eighties, in which she played the character of Mary Trenholme. When Covid closed down London's West End, Vivien was playing Mrs Boyle in The Mousetrap. Since then she has been concentrating on TV and film. In 2025, she has played a lead in Echoes of Him, an indie Horror feature; played Agatha Christie for a BBC writing course; will appear in the Christmas Special of Beyond Paradise (BBC) and has just filmed a major Hollywood movie.
