Biography

Camille Coduri was born in Wandsworth, London and developed a passion for television during her childhood. This prompted her to take to the stage while she was still in high school, after which she acted with the Lyric Youth Theatre and studied drama at Kingsway Princeton College. Coduri made her movie debut in 1987's A Prayer For The Dying with Mickey Rourke, and was soon appearing on television in shows like Boon, Campaign and Morris Minor's Marvellous Motors. More films followed in the early Nineties, such as Nuns On The Run and King Ralph, but television featured increasingly prominently in Coduri's resume. Recurring roles included Rumpole Of The Bailey, Nelson's Column and The History Of Tom Jones, A Foundling. She married actor Christopher Fulford in 1992; daughter Rosa was born the following year, and son Santino in 1996.

After recovering from a serious liver ailment around the turn of the century, Coduri could be seen in Family before taking on the recurring role of Jackie Tyler in Doctor Who. Blazing new territory by playing the mother of one of the Doctor's companions, Coduri debuted in 2005's Rose. She appeared on and off over the next two years, enjoying a combative relationship with Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor before warming up to the Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant. After leaving Doctor Who in 2006's Doomsday, Coduri was back in 2008 for the epic Journey's End, and made a cameo in 2010's The End Of Time. Meanwhile, other television roles included Sinchronicity, Lark Rise To Candleford and Honest, while Coduri joined her Doctor Who co-star Noel Clarke in his movies 4.3.2.1. and Adulthood.

During the 2010s, Coduri's regular roles included Him & Her, Edge Of Heaven and King Gary; amongst a variety of guest appearances were Ashes To Ashes and Midsomer Murders.
