(born 2 October 1968) is an English stage and film actress, known for portraying Princess Margaret in The Queen's Sister, Evelyn Brogan in Cape Wrath and Alice Carter in Torchwood: Children of Earth.
[2] Cohu's first acting job after graduating from drama school was at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, in a production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
[4] Cohu herself said she played Margaret like a proper woman with an insatiable and tremendous energy for life: previous images in her mind had been of a bloated and sick elderly princess confined to a wheelchair.
[5] Cohu has also appeared in Cape Wrath, Ballet Shoes, as Theo Danes,[6] and Torchwood: Children of Earth, as Alice Carter, the daughter of Captain Jack Harkness.
In 2018 Cohu appeared in a production of Speaking in Tongues at the Duke of York's Theatre, opposite John Simm, Ian Hart and Kerry Fox.
