Posy Sterling: 'I couldn't believe what happens to women in this country'
Thirty-two-year-old Sterling is from the Midlands, and was drawn to acting without having any expectations of making a career out of it. She found she had a fascination for 'why people are the way they are.' She had many different jobs, as a care home worker and a tour guide, but she managed to work her way into the business, finding acclaim on TV in addiction drama The Outrun and on stage in The Cherry Orchard at the Donmar and in New York last year. That performance truly launched her, but Lollipop is marking Sterling out as something special, and will be followed by a new role as a detective in ITV's Trigger Point. You can expect a steep trajectory for her career. Put simply, her dedication sets her apart.
