Internet Award: The first WWW site of its kind The Fantastic Honeysuckle Weeks

Title picture

Honeysuckle Weeks (so named because the scent of honeysuckle was so strong at the time she was born, in August 1979) has starred in several programmes on British television in the past 4 years. Her acting talent has taken her from programmes such as the Ruth Rendell mysteries to a childrens series broadcast on BBC1.

She has a younger sister, called Perdita - who has also gone into acting (having appeared in Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet and the Spice Girls movie) - and a younger brother, eleven-year-old Rollo. She is currently reading English at Pembroke College, Oxford, while also studying creative writing, and she intends to continue pursuing her career whilst at university.
