Sarah Parish – The Pillars Of The Earth – Age 52

Think all actors dream of a career in acting from their childhood years? Wrong. Sarah Parish actually had her sights on becoming a ballet dancer when she was thrust into the TV world in the ‘90s with roles in the series Peak Practice. And she’s never left since.

She even expanded her horizons and went into making movies for a time starring in rom coms like The Wedding Date and The Holiday. Parish returned to the small screen in the 2010s nabbing roles in shows like The Pillars of the Earth and Bancroft. In 2020, she starred in the BBC-produced series Industry, which was also shown on HBO.
