Nineties sitcom star, 53, stuns after barely ageing in decades
Nineties sitcom star Sarah Alexander has defied time and looks exactly the same in her new West End show as she did when she started her ascent to fame.
Much like Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston who are both in their 50s, Sarah, now 53, has gobsmacked as she appeared to turn back time in the play, The Unfriend, which also stars Lee Mack.
Looking barely a day older than when first started appearing on TV shows in the 90s, Sarah appears not to have aged in the show about a couple who invite a widow they met on holiday to stay, only to discover she was convicted of murder.
Sarah has worked steadily as an actor since her first on-screen appearance on The Bill, before becoming known for her roles in comediesArmstrong and Miller,Smack the Pony and Coupling.
She was also in the hit Channel 4 sitcom Green Wing, alongside Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan, BBC's The Worst Week of My Life and the Alan Davies show Jonathan Creek.
Over on the big screen, Sarah had a small part in Bridget Jones's Diary as Hugh Grant's character's lover, as well as fantasy adventure film Stardust, which featured Sienna Miller and Ricky Gervais.
Previously speaking to Metro.co.uk, Sarah said in her varied career she learned most from Ben Miller and Alexander Armstrong.
She explained: 'I learned how to come up with characters quickly, to think on my feet and how to enjoy it. The secret of comedy is enjoying it. If you're not laughing, it's not going to be funny.'
Sarah also revealed that her parents initially had concerns about her becoming an actor before being cast in Smack The Pony and Coupling.
She said: 'My dad was a TV director/producer and my parents knew out-of-work actors who'd turn up at the pub skint or come around for Sunday lunch and they probably didn't want that life for their daughter.
'I suppose when I was doing Smack The Pony and Coupling and didn't stop working for a few years until I had the children they thought I was doing all right and could pay the bills.'
Sarah is married to fellow actor Peter Serafinowicz, 51,who she met in 2002 and has appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars and John Wick.
The couple live in West London and have a son and a daughter.
Other stars who seem to be drinking from the fountain of youthinclude Vera Wang, who wowed onBaftasred carpet, 74, and supermodel Christie Brinkley, 70.
Christie spoke about the wonders of ageing on her milestone birthday, writing on Instagram: 'Looking in the mirror on my 70th Birthday and what do I see, I'm finally happy with the person looking back at me.
'I'm no longer critical and demanding, now I'm grateful and understanding.'
