Barbara Marten
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barbara Marten is a British actress.
Barbara went to drama school as a teenager and says that it actually put her off becoming an actress. She trained as a teacher and taught for two years before been drawn back to the stage. After becoming involved with a theatre group in Coventry, Barbara joined a newly formed theatre group in Doncaster. They toured South Yorkshire, performing plays about various subjects, including the St Leger, and another about battered wives.
She first appeared on British TV in 1986, when she took on the now familiar role of Eve Montgomery in Casualty. Since then she has appeared in many TV dramas, receiving much acclaim for her work in dramas such as Bob & Rose and Fat Friends.
Barbara has three sons, Theo, Josh and Billy. Theo was so named (it means "gift of God") because she thought she would be unable to have children after suffering a miscarriage.
