Heather Peace (born 16 June 1975) is an English actress, musician and LGBT rights activist from Bradford, England.
Heather Peace was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire. She has been playing piano since she was six years old, and guitar since her teens. Peace decided to be an actress at an early age and credits her parents for the encouragement they gave her to achieve that goal.
Peace studied acting at Manchester Metropolitan University, where she obtained a BA (Hons).
Peace's break into television came when she joined Emmerdale, playing the character Anne Cullen from 1996 to 1997.
Her first professional stage role was in the 1997 Harrogate Theatre production of My Fair Lady, playing Eliza Doolittle. She subsequently has played Miranda in Shakespeare's The Tempest and the same character in the actor-musician spoof Return to the Forbidden Planet.
After leaving Emmerdale, Peace took parts in The Bill and Dangerfield, before being cast as Firefighter Sally "Gracie" Fields in the ITV series London's Burning from 1998 until the programme's cancellation in 2002. During this time, Peace made a TV movie called Thunder Road, in which she played Sonia.
Between 2003 and 2005, Peace played minor roles in television series including Casualty and Where the Heart Is.
Peace played Special Air Service Trooper Becca Gallagher on the ITV action series Ultimate Force alongside Ross Kemp. Becca was part of the 3rd and 4th series, aired between 2005 and 2008. Peace has given credit to the writers for making Becca 'one of the lads', rather than an overly emotional character and said she had 'so much fun' playing the hero in the show. Ross Kemp has argued the show is made far more interesting by including a female role and believes Peace was the perfect choice for the part ("she is absolutely superb").
