Victoria Studd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victoria Studd is a British television presenter.

Career

She was a presenter for Wish You Were Here? from 1991 to 1996, appearing in eight episodes in total.[1] Before appearing on the show, she spent a brief time presenting Holiday,[2] a travel shown that has seen the likes of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Charlie Dimmock, and Hermione Norris presenting over the years. During the 1980s she had begun presenting arts shows such as ORS 85 and Riverside.

She has had one acting role, playing Lucy in the independent film called Privileged in 1982, which introduced actors Hugh Grant and Imogen Stubbs.[3] The character was the girlfriend of the then-unknown Hugh Grant's character. In an article for Bnet, Studd said that the pair came close to kissing; "So one day when we were walking home with him, I said: 'Hugh, if I'm going to play your girlfriend convincingly, I really should know what it's like to kiss you.' He agreed, and we were just going to kiss for the first time when a friend of his interrupted us."[4] Grant has said that he owes his entire career to Studd; "The first time I was in front of a camera was when I was at Oxford University and we did a very pretentious student film, I didn't have any goal apart from having sex with a girl called Victoria Studd who was in the film. It was the only reason that I did it." [5]

Personal life

Her father was Clifford Studd. She is married to Edward Bonham Carter, brother of Oscar-nominated actress Helena Bonham Carter, and the couple have three children; Harry, Maud, and Tobias. They married on 1 October 1994 at Penn, Buckinghamshire, England.[6] Her married name then became Bonham Carter, but she is still better known as Studd.
