Claire King is an English actress best known for playing villainous Kim Tate in Emmerdale, and tough governor Karen Betts in Bad Girls.
Claire’s acting debut was in a music videos for 80s band Zodiac Mindwarp. Before entering the acting profession Claire changed her name from ‘Claire Seed’ to ‘Claire King’, due to another actress using the same name. The change to ‘King’ was influenced by her love of horse racing (the sport of kings), and her favourite singer, Elvis Presley, (the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll).
In the past, Claire has been nominated for Villain of The Year and Sexiest Female for portrayal of Kim Tate. She also won the award for ‘Best Exit’ for the same role.
In 2002 and 2003, Claire received the TV Quick Award for Best Actress for work on Bad Girls.
When compared to her sex-siren roles, Claire explains: “Pretty much all the roles I’ve ever played, or at least the ones that have made my name, have been hard-bitten man-eaters. I’m the polar opposite of the women I’ve portrayed and incredibly conventional when it comes to love, romance… and marriage. I’m really a very down-to-earth, country girl at heart.”
I like Claire but she seems out of her comfort zone. I wish she would spend more time with Gary, unfortunately she appears to be wanting to spend time with the “youngsters”. Not a good move and surprised she has effectively given up. Too good an actress to “throw in the towel” at this stage. She needs to look and learn from Gary.
Quite a nice lady, I thought she would be a diva and a bitch. Don’t know if she’s doing enough to get noticed but nonetheless nice housemates, these days, are hard to find. I hope she stands up for the underdogs at some point. She needs to pull away from Dee as they aren’t good for each other.
She needs to lay off the ciggies, it’s played havoc with her croaky voice and skin.
:happy: Well kudos to her for not nominating Gary last time. :up:
