Sarah Lancashire (born 10 October 1964) is an English television, film and theatre actress, from Oldham. She trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating in 1986. In order to support herself, she taught drama at Salford University for five years alongside her acting career. Following a stint in the musical Blood Brothers in London's West-End in 1990, Lancashire was cast as Raquel Wolstenhulme in the long-running ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 1991. After leaving the series in 1996 Lancashire found further popular success with roles in Where the Heart Is (1997-1999), Clocking Off (2000) and the television film Seeing Red (2000). In the Summer of 2000 Lancashire signed a two-year golden handcuffs contract with ITV, making her the highest paid actress in UK television.

In 2004 Lancashire made her directorial debut on the anthology series The Afternoon Play. Subsequent acting roles include costume dramas such as the 2007 television adaption of Oliver Twist, Lark Rise to Candleford (2008–2011) and the 2012 television series The Paradise. In 2011 she played the female lead in the musical Betty Blue Eyes, for which she received an Olivier Award nomination. For her role as Caroline in the contemporary drama series Last Tango in Halifax (2012–) Lancashire won the British Academy Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2014. In 2014 Lancashire earned further accolades for her leading role as sergeant Catherine Cawood in the crime thriller series Happy Valley.

Si l'actrice est surtout connue pour son rôle dans Coronation Street, elle avoue que son dernier rôle dans Last Tango in Halifax, a eu beaucoup plus d'impact dans sa vie de femme et d'actrice. Son rôle de directrice d'école, Caroline, lui vaudra une nomination au BAFTA.

The film is a series of flashbacks to various periods in the life of Blake Morrison as he remembers moments he shared with his father Arthur while he, his mother, and younger sister Gillian tend to him on his deathbed in his Yorkshire home. Despite Blake's success as a writer, poet, and critic, his father — a rural general practitioner - never accepted his decision to pursue a literary career nor was he willing to acknowledge his achievements in his field. Bullying, blustery, and boorish, Arthur blunders his way through fatherhood, regularly calling his son a fathead and intruding into the boy's private moments with a sense of entitlement. He has a penchant for exaggeration when he's not telling outright lies, and he publicly humiliates his long-suffering but passively complacent wife Kim with his shameless flirting with various women and an affair with Beaty, a friend of the family. At other times, he seems genuinely interested in bonding with his son, taking him camping so they can test supposedly waterproof sleeping bags he has made or allowing him to drive in the family's Alvis convertible on a wide expanse of deserted beach with reckless abandon. As a result, Blake is left with mixed feelings for the man, ranging from deeply rooted anger to compassionate acceptance. Only after Arthur's death is he able to set aside his resentment and recognize him as a father whose flaws ultimately helped mould his son into the better man he is.
