Patsy Kensit

In 2004 Kensit joined the cast of British soap opera Emmerdale, playing the role of Sadie King, and also regularly featured in the third series of Channel 4's Bo Selecta. As of 2004, Kreuk is dating her Legend of Earthsea co-star, Canadian actor Mark Hildreth. Her last starring role was in the Newcastle based flop The One and Only which failed to get wide distribution. It airs on December 13, 2004. They divorced in 2000. The two-part miniseries, filmed in Vancouver, was directed by Rob Lieberman and co-produced by Lawrence Bender of Pulp Fiction fame. Kensit and Gallagher had a son, Lennon, named after John Lennon. Her character, Tenar, is the pupil of High Priestess Thar of the Tombs of Atuan (played by Isabella Rossellini) and also the love interest of Ashmore's character.

During her second marriage she gave birth to her first child, James. In 1997 she married Liam Gallagher from Oasis. Le Guin. In 1992 she married Jim Kerr, lead singer of Simple Minds. In the summer of 2004, Kreuk joined the cast of the Sci Fi Channel miniseries Legend of Earthsea, starring Shawn Ashmore and Danny Glover and based on the novels by Ursula K. In 1988 she married Dan Donovan of band Big Audio Dynamite. It debuted in theatres on February 20, 2004. All her husbands have been musicians. The film, shot in Prague, Czech Republic, also featured cameos by Matt Damon and Lucy Lawless.

Patsy has been married three times. She was also tapped for her first feature film role in the summer of 2003; she made a cameo appearance in the movie Eurotrip, starring Scott Mechlowicz and Michelle Trachtenberg. Kensit attracted ridicule for stating in an interview that she was a serious actress and did not trade just on her looks before doing gratuitous nude in three films back to back. In 2003, Kreuk wrapped up her role on Edgemont. Another notable film role was in Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), in which she played Rika van den Haas, the South African consulate secretary that cop Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) falls in love with. The executives at Neutrogena decided to make her the cover girl for their new worldwide ad campaign; in this regard Kreuk followed in the footsteps of fellow teen stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Mandy Moore. The film was critically panned and was also box office flop. Originally, Kreuk was not so sure about auditioning for the Lana role, as the character was to be a gorgeous, popular cheerleader and so she assumed that the part would be that of a shallow "idiot". However, upon reading the "graveyard scene" from the pilot, she was so impressed that when she was offered the role, she immediately accepted it.

Her big break came in 1986 when she was selected to play Crepe Suzette, the female lead in the movie Absolute Beginners, with David Bowie as her co-star. Gough and Millar called Kreuk to the WB's studios in Burbank, California to audition for the role of Clark Kent's pre-Lois Lane love, Lana Lang. The band had three Top 40 singles ("Stay with me", "I'm not scared" and "Cross My Heart") but television appearances on programmes like Top of the Pops gave much needed exposure to Kensit. The program (which was slated to be shot in Vancouver) was to revolve around the life of teenager Clark Kent, alias Superboy. In 1985 Kensit was the lead singer of band Eighth Wonder. After Snow White, Kreuk's agent sent an audition tape to movie screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who at the time were putting together the cast of a show they had created for the WB Network entitled Smallville. In 1974 she had her first role in a movie; The Great Gatsby starring Mia Farrow. It aired on ABC on March 17, 2002.

Aged only four, she appeared in a television advert for Birds Eye Peas. The film, shot in Vancouver, also starred actress Miranda Richardson. It soon became clear that Patsy was to become an actress. After shooting the first season of Edgemont (a teen soap opera set at a Vancouver-area high school) and getting herself an agent, Kreuk landed the lead role of Snow White in a TV movie entitled Snow White: The Fairest of Them All. She was born Patsy Jude Kensit in Hounslow, London, with Reggie Kray as her godfather. Much to her surprise, she won the part. She has starred in several prominent films but is perhaps more well-known for her three celebrity marriages. Kreuk, who had no previous experience in acting other than musicals at her high school, was convinced to audition for the role by her drama teacher.

Patsy Kensit (born March 4, 1968) is a British actress. Kreuk was planning to study either psychology, environmental science, or forensic science at Simon Fraser University when a casting director for the CBC TV series Edgemont called her high school, looking for an "exotic"-looking girl to play the part of Laurel Yeung on the Vancouver-shot show. She also has a younger sister, Justine. Her father, Peter Kreuk, is of Dutch ancestry and her mother, Deanna Che, is of Chinese ancestry; both are landscape architects. Kreuk was born in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Kristin Laura Kreuk (born December 30, 1982) is a Canadian actress and model, known for her roles on the Canadian television series Edgemont and on the American television series Smallville.
