Early life
She began her career with the Royal Shakespeare Company and later appeared on television and in film.
Career
Mole appeared as a singer in a West End production of Francis Beaumont's The Knight of the Burning Pestle at the Aldwych Theatre in 1981.[1] The same year, she was understudy to Peggy Ashcroft as the Countess in Trevor Nunn's Royal Shakespeare Company production of All's Well That Ends Well and had some lesser roles for the company.[2][3]
In 1983, she played Bella in the Avon Touring Theatre Company's first production of Vince Foxall's Brittle Glory, a reworking of Richard II.[4]
Mole's first credited screen role was in the first episode of the television drama The Fourth Arm (1983), in which she played a WAAF.[5] She went on to appear in Screen Two, the Miss Marple film 4.50 from Paddington (1987), with Joan Hickson as Marple,[6][7] in Agatha Christie's Poirot with David Suchet,[8] Rumpole of the Bailey, and Absolutely Fabulous. In The Chief, she played Marie-Pierre Arnoux from 1993 to 1994.
Art
In the 1990s, she lived on a houseboat on the River Thames, where she was reported to keep collections of black and white photographs and hats.[9] Her interest in art developed into a new career as an artist, and she now specializes in trompe-l'oeil and garden design.[10]
