Salima Saxton is a British actress and writer. She graduated from Girton College, Cambridge University in 2000, after studying Sanskrit and Persian.[1]
In 2003, she played the lead role of Desdemona in a Nottingham Playhouse production of Shakespeare's Othello, which was described as "excellently portrayed " by The British Theatre Guide[2] and as "whose cries for help as she suffers at her husband's hands send shivers down your spine and is a performance of excellence," by BBC.[3] In 2001, she had a lead role in Benjamin Yeoh's first play Lemon Love at the Finborough Theatre, London, and a review in the Evening Standard stated "Each of the four actors seem more assured delivering soliloquies than talking to each other."[4]
She has appeared as a regular character in Jennifer Saunders' BBC1 comedy series Jam and Jerusalem,[5] which attracted large audiences.[6] Her filmography on TV is for the period 2001-11.[7]
Fellow sitcom TV actor and writer, Pauline Mclynn in 2011, acknowledged Saxton's support in her own writing of Missing You Already.[8]
