Kate Cook
Kate Cook is a talented actor hailing from London, with roots tracing back to the illustrious Beerbohm family, which includes notable figures such as actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree and caricaturist Max Beerbohm. Her heritage is predominantly British, enriched by German and Lithuanian influences. Raised in the countryside alongside her parents and two sisters, Kate developed skills in horse riding and lawn care before pursuing her passion for acting in London.
After completing her studies at Arts Educational Schools, she initially embarked on an acting career but chose to pause her professional journey to raise her two children. Her return to the stage was marked by an MA in Text and Performance from King’s College London and RADA, where she unearthed her love for writing. This led her into the vibrant London comedy scene as a stand-up comedian, ultimately culminating in her acclaimed one-woman show, "Invisible Woman," which she showcased at the Edinburgh Festival, Brighton, London, and in France.
Kate gained significant recognition for her portrayal of Mrs. More in the cult horror film "The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist." More recently, she has made appearances on popular BBC series such as "Years and Years," "Call the Midwife," and "EastEnders." Additionally, she features prominently in Seasons 5 and 6 of the Netflix drama "The Crown," taking on the role of Susie Orbach, the therapist to Princess Diana.
