Amanda Mealing Biography

Amanda Mealing is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on April 22, 1967 in London, England, England, United Kingdom. Amanda Jane Mealing (born 22 April 1967) is an English actress, known for portraying the role of Connie Beauchamp in the BBC medical dramas Holby City and Casualty.

The day after giving birth to her second son, Mealing was diagnosed with breast cancer. Mealing was asked to be an ambassador for Breast Cancer Care in early 2010. She has developed a close bond with the charity. “When I was diagnosed the first leaflet I received was from Breast Cancer Care. They have been there for me ever since. I am deeply honoured to be given a chance to give something back to them.” After losing a close friend to breast cancer early the same year Amanda decided to dedicate a JustGiving page to raise money in memory of her friend. She ran the 2012 London Marathon on her 45th birthday for Breast Cancer Care.

With a desire to reconnect with her roots and acknowledge her father, and as an ambassador, Mealing has worked with Save the Children in Sierra Leone. She filmed a documentary about Kroo Bay — a slum built on the rubbish discarded by Freetown — saying: “It’s the worst place in the world you could grow up as child. One child in four will die before they reach five years old.”

After the birth of her first son, the desire to find out more about her background became “hard to ignore”; she also wanted him to “know his heritage”. Investigations took Mealing to New York, where she eventually found her birth mother, a model for Biba in London during the swinging sixties. She discovered that her biological father was a half-Ghanaian poet and activist. She gets on well with her mother and takes the children to visit her in New York but her father died some years earlier. She also found out that she has a sister, a year younger, also adopted in Britain. Her sister did not know of the relationship until she was 16, but had watched Mealing in Grange Hill, with people saying ‘you look like that girl on TV’. Now close, when they first met their similarities were unbelievable — “we talk the same, walk the same, even our actions are the same”.

Mealing appeared as cardiothoracic consultant Connie Beauchamp in BBC One’s BAFTA award winning medical drama series Holby City from 1 June 2004 to 28 December 2010, announcing her decision to quit Holby City in October 2010, filming her final scenes in October and her departure seeing her resigning from her position at the hospital.
