Rebecca Jane Lacey (born 20 April 1965) is an English actress. She is best known for playing Dr. George Woodman in Casualty [1] and Hilary in May to December [2] and for her stage work in the West End and The RSC.
She was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, the daughter of actor Ronald Lacey[3] and actress Mela White.
Lacey is best known for her roles as Irene Stuart (series 4) in Monarch of the Glen, the feisty Dr. George Woodman in Casualty (having previously made two guest appearances in the series as patients in 1991 and 1994), and ditzy but kind-hearted Hilary in May to December. She has also played a number of roles in The Bill and many other TV series.
In 1992 she appeared in the film Carry On Columbus and followed it up in 1995 with an appearance in the BBC/WGBH comedy drama adapted from Heavy Weather by P.G. Wodehouse and starring Peter O'Toole as Lord Emsworth. She has appeared in a number of theatre productions including a season with Alan Ayckbourn in Terry Johnson's Dead Funny in the West End and Amy's View by David Hare. From 2012 to 2013, she portrayed Laura Tyler in the BBC soap opera Doctors.[4]
