Victoria Shalet (born 9 December 1981) is a former English actress most famous for her role as Harmony in the award-winning CBBC adaptation of the Dick King-Smith book The Queen's Nose.
Victoria Jane Shalet was born in Enfield, London, the youngest child of Lawrence and Elaine Shalet. She is English on her mother's side and her father has Russian and Austrian/Jewish heritage. She attended Southgate School. Shalet was sent to after-school acting, singing and dancing classes and the agent who ran the classes sent her for her first audition, for the BBC series Testimony of a Child. She won the role of Rosie Taylor and made her acting debut, the series airing in 1989.
She was next cast as Anna, the daughter of Miranda Richardson and Michael Kitchen's rowdy family, in Andrew Davies's Ball-Trap on the Cote Sauvage. In 1990 she attended an audition in America for Jim Henson, who cast her in Mother Goose Stories (where she appeared in two stories, Dorothy in The Giant and the title character in The Little Girl with the Curl). Shalet later played the daughter of King Minor in Henson production The Greek Myths.
By this time Shalet was finding work all over the world. In 1991 she guest starred in two episodes of ITV's Spatz, guest starred in an episode of Dutch series Van Der Valk, and played her largest role to date in French film The Maid, playing the bratty daughter of Jacqueline Bisset. The following year she was cast in Shining Through alongside Michael Douglas, Melanie Griffiths, John Gielgud and Liam Neeson (playing her father). That same year she acted in two BBC series, Love Hurts and Natural Lies. In 1993 she played a role in the critically acclaimed Goggle Eyes, an adaptation of Anne Fine's award-winning novel, and two years later appeared in the film Haunted.
