Elfin Malaysian-born leading lady Jenny Seagrove was first seen on screen in the lukewarm psychological thriller Tattoo (1980). Jenny's first truly significant role was as Peter Riegert's offbeat Scottish lady love in Bill Forsyth's whimsical Local Hero (1983). Her later screen roles capitalized on her beauty, seldom taking full advantage of her talent. Jenny Seagrove is best known to U.S. TV addicts as the star of the miniseries adaptations of Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance (1985) and Hold The Dream (1985).
