Joanna Lumley Biography
Joanna Lumley, an accomplished actress and television presenter, has built a distinguished career marked by notable roles and awards. She has received two BAFTA TV Awards for her role as Patsy Stone in "Absolutely Fabulous" and was nominated for the 2011 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play for the Broadway revival of "La Bête." Lumley's filmography includes popular titles such as "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie." Beyond acting, Lumley's voice has been a staple in UK households as she recorded AOL's UK greetings. She has also authored her autobiography "No Room for Secrets" and has been involved in various travel documentaries for ITV, including "Joanna Lumley's Nile" and "Joanna Lumley's Japan." In 2025, she joined the cast of Netflix's "Wednesday" in its second season.
Beyond her career in entertainment, Lumley is a staunch advocate and human rights activist. She has been involved in numerous causes, including the Gurkha Justice Campaign and Survival International. Her advocacy work led to a 2009 government decision allowing Gurkhas who served before 1997 the right to settle in the UK. Lumley's activism extends to animal welfare as well, supporting charities such as Compassion in World Farming and the Vegetarian Society's International Voice for Animals. She has also lent her voice to narrate "Mine: Story of a Sacred Mountain," a documentary that supports the Dongria Kondha tribe in their opposition to mining in India.
Recognized for her contributions to drama, entertainment, and charity, Lumley was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2022 New Year Honours. She has also been honored with the BAFTA Fellowship award in 2017 and the Special Recognition Award at the National Television Awards in 2013.
