Sandy Ratcliff est une Actrice née le 2 octobre 1948 à Londres (Royaume-uni)
Alexandra "Sandy" Ratcliff (born in Islington, London, 2 October 1948) is a former English actress. Ratcliff made an impression as a model and film actress in the 1970s, but she is best known for being one of the original cast members in the BBC soap opera EastEnders in the 1980s. She received acclaim for her portrayal of the tragic Sue Osman, but left the role in 1989 after it was revealed that she was a heroin addict. Since leaving EastEnders, things have been professionally quiet for Ratcliff, though her private life brought her into the headlines once again in the early 1990s. In 2010, she revealed she gave up acting to train as a counsellor, but has since retired.
In 1991 Ratcliff's then-boyfriend, Michael Shorey, stood trial at the Old Bailey after he was accused of killing two women. Despite Ratcliff giving him an alibi — she claimed in the witness box that they were making love at the time — he was found guilty and is now serving two life sentences for murder. His court case was to be her last public appearance.
In 2005 it was reported that Ratcliff no longer uses heroin and lives on a £70 a week disability allowance. In a 2010 interview, Ratcliff commented on the press intrusion following her departure from EastEnders, saying, "I had a hard time when I left the show. There were stories about my drug addiction, and I was quite an innocent, even in my thirties. Some of the things written about me hurt me and made me quite ill. But I recovered and moved on to other things.
