Biography

Born Sadie Liza Vaughan, her parents were psychedelic artist David Vaughan, who did work for The Beatles, and his then-16-year-old muse, actress Mary Davidson.¹²

Her childhood she describes as "chaotic but positive experience,"¹ being born in Primrose Hill, but spending much of her youth in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester after her parents separated. Her parents had six relationships between them, and although Sadie is the oldest they produced four sisters and five brothers for her: including fellow actresses Holly Davidson and Jade Davidson; brothers called Gabriel Jupiter, Tobias Vaughan and a sister named Sunshine Purple Tara Velvet.³ According to Frost, one of her stepfathers was a follower of the Bhagwan cult, who forbade the children to say the words “No” or “Sorry”, and during her father's colour-therapy phase, he insisted that everybody in the house wear orange, and wouldn’t let them eat anything that was red. They also had to take showers wearing tracksuits and were made to refer to objects as the most opposite they could think of as a test of character, for example calling apples elephants.¹

Her nickname is "Mutton".

Career

After appearing in a Jelly Tots advertisement, aged three, and appearing with Morecambe and Wise, aged five, she gained a scholarship to the Italia Conti Academy.³ However, following an early eating disorder,⁴ she gave up acting at age thirteen and attended Hampstead School.⁵ On graduation she left home to escape her parents, and at age nineteen she appeared in a play called Mumbo Jumbo at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre Directed by Nicholas Hytner.

As an actress, Sadie has performed in: Press Gang and Casualty.⁶ Her first film role was in Diamond Skulls, though her most memorable film appearance is as vampire Lucy Westenra in Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992. She earned her living mainly through appearing in music videos, including for Pulp's song "Common People", Planet Perfecto featuring Grace "Not Over Yet '99"; and various productions for Spandau Ballet where she met first husband Gary Kemp.

Frost and Kemp appeared together in the 1990's film The Krays. The couple went on to appear in two movies together, one of which was filmed while they were separated: the 1994's film Magic Hunter, even required the two to participate in a love scene.
