Amanda Donohoe (born 29 June 1962) is an English film and television actress. She is known for her 1980s relationship with popstar Adam Ant and her later work on television – including L.A. Law and Emmerdale – and her roles in successful films including Universal's Liar, Liar.

[on working with Oliver Reed in "Castaway"] Reed is a complex character who doesn't easily give of himself. When you do win his trust, though, he's loyal, protective, and a dear, dear friend. And he possesses an extraordinary sensitivity that manifests itself at the most unlikely moments. In discovering Reed's different aspects, I began to understand him and therefore to like him -- not for what he thinks he is, but for what he really is.
