Actor Alison Steadman chooses the songs that soundtracked her life in Tracks Of My Years.
One of the best actors this country has produced, Alison has had a long and varied career, but in recent years is probably best known as ‘Pam-el-a’ in Gavin & Stacey.
She became interested in performance at a young age, and as a teenager, she snuck off to see the Beatles perform live at the Cavern Club. As a young actress, she appeared in seminal plays written by her former husband Mike Leigh.
From Beverly in ‘Abigail’s Party’ to Gavin’s mum Pam in ‘Gavin & Stacey’, Alison’s versatile range has made her one of the most loved British actors on stage and on screen. Now, she's appearing in the final ever episode of Gavin & Stacey, which is on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One on Christmas Day.
Discover how this amazing actor became such a national treasure and what songs soundtracked her journey, with her first two choices today.
