Early life

Lunghi was born in Nottingham. Alessandro Lunghi, her father, was Italian.

She was raised by her mother, aunt, and grandmother, but her father was only seen occasionally. Lunghi has described herself as "different" because she did not have a mother and father like other children. Lunghi attended Richmond Grammar School in North Yorkshire but has said she was not academic and much more interested in make believe.

Personal life

After meeting while studying at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, Lunghi briefly married South African student Ralph Lawson. The 1975 marriage was a point of convenience, so Lawson could continue in the United Kingdom. The husband and wife never lived together as husband and wife, instead living in separate homes in Newcastle. Lawson returned to South Africa two years ago to start a new role. Nathalie Lunghi (b. ) has a daughter. Roland Joffé, a director from 1986, produced a film version.
