Life and career
[edit | edit source]Winter was born in London.[1] Her interest in acting was fostered at an early age by her grandfather, who introduced her to the plays of Shakespeare and took her to performances at the Open Air Theatre at Regent's Park in London.[2] She attended Cambridge University, where she was active in theatre and her performances drew praise.[3]
Winter's professional film and series work includes many historical dramas, including Reign, and Versailles, as Louise de La Vallière, a prominent mistress of King Louis XIV of France. An early role was as Delia Derbyshire, who was responsible for the electronic realisation of the Doctor Who theme music in the biographical film An Adventure in Space and Time.
Winter appeared in animated form with Aidan Gillen in the film noir-like Science Channel documentary series Killers of the Cosmos in 2021 as "The Informant."[4]
