Trudi Jackson was born in the mining town of Pontypool, South Wales to
teenage parents Julie and Carl Jackson who later had one more daughter
Layla. They divorced when Trudi was 4 years old. Her father remarried
to Caroline providing Trudi with another sister Carla and one brother
Craig.
She attended LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) and
landed her first role as 'Rose' in 'The Libertine'. Two days after the
first read through she was crushed from behind by a Cement Mixer whilst
cycling on the Fulham Road, London. Sustaining severe pelvic and spinal
injuries, it was looking like she may have to say goodbye to her first
movie role. However five weeks later on crutches, she walked onto the
set for her first scene with John Malkovich. One of her best
achievements to date!
She lives in Bermondsey, South London with the her actor boyfriend Al
Constantine.
