Sarah Brackett
Brackett's parents were William Oliver Brackett, a Presbyterian minister, and his wife Nancy Alexis Thompson, who had been born in Scotland. They were married in Edinburgh in 1931, and Brackett was born in Lake Forest, Illinois. In 1945, her father died, and her mother decided to return home, so that from the age of seven Brackett was brought up in Scotland. She trained for an acting career at the Edinburgh College of Speech and Drama. Her entry in Spotlight in 1966 reported that she spoke fluent French and German.
Brackett began her career in the theatre. In 1960 she was in repertory at the Byre Theatre in St Andrews, and in 1961 played Portia in a production of The Merchant of Venice at the Colchester Repertory Theatre. She also appeared in West End musicals, including A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at the Strand Theatre, and in a production of Funny Girl at the Prince of Wales in 1966 she played Vera, a showgirl.
She last worked as an actress in the late 1980s. On 3 July 1996, she was found dead, aged 58, in her flat in Westminster, London. The cause of death was found to be suicide and the date was estimated as 17 June.
