Gina McKee

Georgina Gina McKee is an English actress. She has appeared in Our Friends in the North , The Lost Prince and The Forsyte Saga as Bella in the film Notting Hill and as Caterina Sforza in the Showtime series The Borgias.

McKee was born in Peterlee, County Durham, the daughter of a coal miner. She grew up in her birthplace as well as in nearby Easington and Sunderland. Her first experience of acting occurred in her final year at primary school where her teacher finished the school week off with improvisations. Seeing a poster in a shoeshop window for a new youth drama group, McKee and her friends decided to attend, initially not seriously but later becoming enthusiastic. It led to McKees first professional appearance, working on Tyne Tees childrens series, Quest of Eagles.
