Who is Natasha O’Keeffe?

Natasha Dervill O’Keeffe was born in Brighton, Sussex, England, on 1 December 1986 – her zodiac sign is Sagittarius and she holds British nationality. She is an actress who might be known best for her portrayal of Lizzie Stark in the crime drama series “Peaky Blinders” created by Steven Knight and which starred Cillian Murphy, Paul Anderson and Helen McCrory – it follows a mafia family living in England in the 1900s, and the series has won 18 awards while being nominated for 44 others. It has been running since 2013.

Childhood and education

Natasha spent only a year of her life in Brighton before her family moved to Tooting in South London – she is quite secretive when it comes to her siblings and her parents Caroline and Paul, and nothing is known about them.

Natasha became interested in acting while attending high school, and practiced with the school’s drama club as well as at a community theatre. She had other interests too, such as singing, dancing and playing sports including soccer and tennis. Upon matriculating in 2004, Natasha enrolled at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and played lead characters in many of their theatre plays – she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2008.

Roles in movies

Natasha made her debut film appearance straight out of college, when she played Sarah in the thriller “Abraham’s Point”, written and directed by Wyndham Price, and which starred Christian McKay, Paul Robert Bird and Mackenzie Crook – the film follows the life of a man who is being haunted by a family tragedy that happened when he was still just a kid.

Her following film role came three years later in 2011, when starring alongside Dylan Edwards (her husband) in Lewis Georgeson’s short comedy “If Found Please Return To”, but which failed to attract any attention.
