Sadie Frost (born Sadie Liza Vaughan on June 19, 1965), is an English fashion designer and former actress. She is probably best known for her six-year marriage to Jude Law and her friendship with Kate Moss, which have made her a staple of the British tabloids.

Biography

Frost was born in London. Her father, David Vaughan, was a psychedelic artist who did work for The Beatles. Frost had a somewhat unconventional childhood, with numerous siblings and step-siblings, including a sister named Sunshine Purple Tara Velvet. She was brought up in Primrose Hill, London, but spent quite a lot of her youth in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, when her parents separated.

Regularly featured in tabloid and gossip magazines, she is better known for her series of high-profile relationships, than her own film and television work. At the age of five, she appeared with Morecambe and Wise. She studied acting at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts. At nineteen she joined the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre to appear in Mumbo Jumbo. The majority of her film credits have been brief supporting roles, however, she made a memorable appearance as vampire Lucy Westenra in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). She is also featured in the music video for Pulp's "Common People", as well as Spandau Ballet's "Gold".

She now co-owns the fashion label Frost French.

Personal life

Frost has been married twice. She married first husband, Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp on May 7, 1988, and with him she has a son, Finlay Munro (born September 20, 1990). They divorced in 1997. She married actor Jude Law on September 2, 1997, and with him she has three children: son Rafferty (born October 6, 1996), daughter Iris (born October 25, 2000) and son Rudy Indiana Otis (born September 10, 2002). They divorced in 2003.

Trivia

She has been a vegetarian since birth. She posed nude with her back to the camera for a PETA anti-fur ad in September 2006. The photograph, by rocker Bryan Adams, a PETA supporter, was taken to coincide with London Fashion Week. Her shot carries the logo 'Turn Your Back On Fur'.

She has a half-sister, who also acts, Holly Davidson.

Her life story has been parodied in the comedy Star Stories.
