Annabel Schofield (born September 4, 1963) is a Welsh former model and actress.
Schofield's meteoric modelling career included covers for Harpers & Queen and the German edition of Vogue, and fashion shoots for international designers including Versace, Yves Saint Laurent and Azzedine Alaïa.[1] In 1985 she quit modelling, of which she would later write "overt sexual harassment was a constant part of my day job"[2], to attend drama school in New York.
As an actress Schofield first came to international attention in 1988 for her portrayal of Laurel Ellis, a British painter's model and love interest of Clayton Farlow and J. R. Ewing, in season 11 of Dallas.[3] This was the first major role for a British actor on the soap.[4] Around the same time she starred in the iconic "Ferrari" TV advertisement for Bugle Boy Jeans[5], uttering the line "Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy jeans that you're wearing?"[6]
A starring role in the Charlton Heston science-fiction film Solar Crisis followed in 1990, but the film was not a box office success.
During the 1990s Schofield continued to play major love interest roles in lower-budget productions: the French-American Eye of the Widow in 1991 opposite Richard Young, the 1996 noir thriller Exit in Red alongside Mickey Rourke, Midnight Blue (1997) with Damian Chapa, and The Protector (1997) (titled "Body Armor" in some markets).[7][8] She also made a guest appearance in an episode of TV series Dangerous Curves,[9] and presented a 1994 documentary on cosmetic surgery for BBC Two.[10]
She later received credits on the films The Brothers Grimm, Doom and How Do You Know as a production assistant to her father, executive producer John D. Schofield.[11]
Schofield is currently living in Los Angeles and running an independent production company.[12] Her blog The Cherry Alignment is based on her novel of the same name[13], a semi-autobiographical look at the modelling and acting industries of the 1980s.
