Samantha Robinson (English actress)

[1] After Runshaw, Robinson gained a place at Rose Bruford College[1] and then went into work at Chichester Festival Theatre on Songs of the Western Man.

She played Miranda in the Royal Exchange Theatres' production of The Tempest, alongside Pete Postlethwaite.
