JENNIFER
SAUNDERS

Jennifer Saunders was born on 6 July 1958 in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. An actor, comedian and writer, she became known for a partnership with Dawn French that grew out of the British alternative comedy scene.

French and Saunders appeared with The Comic Strip before developing their own sketch series, French & Saunders. Their long collaboration brought character comedy and parody to television audiences.

Saunders wrote and played Edina Monsoon in Absolutely Fabulous, a comedy centred on the excesses of Edina and her friend Patsy. In 2009, Saunders and French received the BAFTA Fellowship together.

Her screen work also includes voice acting. She voiced the Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2 and Miss Spink in Coraline, where French voices Miss Forcible. In Coraline, the pair’s theatrical neighbours carry their comic partnership into Henry Selick’s stop-motion world.
