Emmerdale M.I.High |
Jane Cameron (born November 29, 1975) is an English actress, known for her roles as Sophie Wright in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale and as Ms. Templeman in the BBC children's show M.I.High. In 2011–12, she appeared on EastEnders as Sophie for four episodes.
Cameron was born in Yorkshire. In 1998, she, her mother, and her stepfather were involved in a car accident. Her stepfather Steven Wood was driving the car with Jane and her mother inside, when it collided with Melanie Powell, 20, a friend of Jane's younger brother. The two cars crashed into a field near Menwith Hill, Harrogate, North Yorkshire at an unlit junction. All of the passengers in Wood's car survived, suffering minor bruises, but Powell, who worked in Bradford, and was driving home to see her boyfriend, died.
"In ways, it's nice to have a baby on screen. When he's supposed to be crying, often he'll be as happy as anything. And when he's supposed to be happy, he can be a bit grizzly. We have to wait for the crying".
Throughout 1996 to 1997, Cameron appeared as nanny Sophie Wright in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale. Cameron got the role after a year out of drama school, "being thrust into a gruelling schedule in Emmerdale". She was initially auditioning for another part at Yorkshire Television, but got the Emmerdale role instead. Her father, David McDermott, was once a set designer on the show and was introduced as the nanny to James Tate. Cameron said that when she and her parents moved to America for six months when she was 16, she worked as nanny, calling it a "great experience". She said, "Until you've spent every day with a baby, you don't know what it's like. In one of the first scenes, which I read in the audition, someone said, 'Doesn't it make you want to have one of your own?' My character replied, 'No, absolutely not', it's a 24-hour-a-day job". Cameron spoke to a number of parents so she was prepared for the role of Sophie, wanting to be "professional", something which Cameron described Sophie as.
