Real Name: Jennifer Ann Agutter Was Born: December 20, 1952. Taunton, Somerset United Kingdom Bio: Jennifer Ann Agutter is an English
actress. Agutter first came to the attention of television audiences as Roberta
in a BBC dramatisation of The Railway Children, and went on to play the same
part in Lionel Jeffries's 1970 film of the book. Her quality of ingenuousness
had led to an earlier more serious role in what is now regarded as something
of a horror cult film I Start Counting (1969). She also won an Emmy for her
television role as Fritha in the Hallmark Hall of Fame production of The Snow
Goose (1971). Agutter continued a transition to adult roles in Walkabout (1971),
playing a teenage schoolgirl who was lost in the Australian outback with her
younger brother. She first auditioned for the role in 1967 but funding problems
delayed filming until 1969. The delay in production meant Agutter was 16 at
the time of filming, and the director took advantage of her new legal status
by including many nude scenes in the film...
