Biography
About Jenny Agutter
Jenny Agutter was born on the 20th of December 1952 in Taunton, Somerset, England. She began acting as a child in 1964, appearing in films such as East of Sudan and Star! before taking on the role of Roberta "Bobbie" Waterbury in two adaptations of The Railway Children. That part, first in the BBC's 1968 serial and then in the 1970 film, made her one of Britain's most recognizable young performers. She is British, and her career has now spanned over six decades.
Agutter moved into more mature and internationally noted work, including Nicolas Roeg's Walkabout, the television film The Snow Goose, Logan's Run, Equus, and An American Werewolf in London. For The Snow Goose she won a Primetime Emmy, and for Equus she received a BAFTA Award. Later, she became familiar to a new generation as Sister Julienne on Call the Midwife. Beyond acting, she has supported cystic fibrosis causes and was appointed OBE in 2012.
At 73, Jenny maintains a slim build, standing 5'7" with hazel eyes and natural brown hair. Her measurements are 34–25–35. She has performed solo nudity in her career. Her long and varied filmography, from family classics to horror and drama, shows a rare range. She remains a respected figure in British entertainment.
