After studying drama and dance in London, Gabrielle Anwar embarked upon a string of BBC TV appearances, including the weekly series Press Gang. In 1988, Gabrielle made her motion picture debut in Manifesto. Since that time, she has remained on the brink of full stardom without ever quite taking the plunge. Gabriella Anwar's best screen roles have included Donna, Al Pacino's dancing partner, in Scent of a Woman (1992); diving-horse equestrienne Sonora Webster in Disney's Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (1993); and Queen Anne in the 1993 "Gen-X" version of Dumas' The Three Musketeers.
