| Biography of Letitia Dean |
Dean's first notable television appearance came when she was just 11, playing a student named Lucinda in the BBC children's series Grange Hill, in 1978.[4] It was here that she met and became firm friends with fellow actress Susan Tully, who she would later go on to work closely with in EastEnders. At the age of twelve Dean was in the hit stage musical Annie at London's Victoria Palace Theatre, and she later sang with a rock group called 'The Young Uns' for several years.[2]
Her next television role was a part in the Channel 4 soap opera Brookside in 1984.[5] Soon after, Dean was cast as one of the original members of the new BBC1 soap opera EastEnders. Interestingly, Dean lied about her roots to get the part in the soap. As the casting directors were only looking for real 'East End' actors, she falsely claimed that she was born and raised in Hackney, East London.[6] The lie paid off and she got the part. |
