if you'll actually meet Jane or James, though.)
Oldest daughter of John Frankenberg and Mieke van Trigt. She has two younger
sisters, named Sally and Anne.
She is the daughter of a British obstetrician and his Dutch wife. Thanks to her

Was one of two actresses to screen test for the role of Meggie Cleary in the
epic mini-series, "The Thorn Birds" (1983) (mini). The other actress was Rachel

"vulnerable" enough.
Her house was used for recording The Cure's "Wild Mood Swings"
Became a U.S. Citizen on February 11,2005; wore a cream-colored suit to ceremony
at the downtown Los Angeles Convention Center. She sat between more than a dozen

ancestry - her father is the son of Eastern European immigrants, and her mother
is Dutch.
