Leah Bracknell - Biography
Leah Bracknell was born on July 12, 1964 in Westminster, London, England as Alison Rosalind Bracknell. She is an actress, known for Emmerdale (1972), The Royal Today (2008) and A Dark Reflection (2015).
Bracknell first appeared on the TV series The Chiffy Kids in 1976, which was directed by her father, David. After leaving Emmerdale, she returned to the theatre and appeared as Mrs Manningham in Gaslight and Strangers on a Train.
After attending the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art within two years of leaving she was cast in the ITV1 soap opera, Emmerdale playing the role of vet and land owner, Zoe Tate. She appeared in the programme for 16 years (with breaks, including two spells of maternity leave) until leaving the series in 2005. She was initially only due to leave the series for nine months but did not return. The character was the first lesbian on a British soap and at the time was one of the longest-featured gay characters on television.
In October 2016, Bracknell said she had been diagnosed with stage 4 terminal lung cancer. A fundraising appeal to pay for experimental treatment in Germany hit its target of £50,000 within three days. She appeared on This Morning and Loose Women to talk about her cancer and determination to fight it.
