Leigh-Allyn Baker

I was named after my two uncles. Roger Lee and Richard Allen. They simply changed the spelling to Leigh-Allyn to make it more feminine.

'Having it all' is such an intimidating concept. Just when you think you have all those plates spinning perfectly... something changes. It is a constant balancing act.

If you're an actress, you're always on one diet or another - it's a way of life.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
