About Sadie Frost

Sadie has over four decades experience in film, theatre and television. As an actor Sadie starred in globally acclaimed films such as Francis Ford Coppola’s BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA alongside Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder, and heavyweight television dramas such as Jon Avnet’s UPRISING.

As a fledgling producer, Sadie set up production company Natural Nylon with fellow actors Jude Law, Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller, which went on to make EXISTENZ and NORA. Sadie later co-produced SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie. Sadie later went on to co-found Blonde to Black Pictures which produced SET THE THAMES ON FIRE, TWO FOR JOY and shorts RAGS, RUNNING MAN and CONTACT, also directed by Sadie.

Sadie directed a documentary about the iconic British fashion designer Mary Quant. Produced by Goldfinch Entertainment and stars people such as Edward Enniful, Kate Moss, Vivienne Westwood, Charlotte Tilbury, Dave Davies and Pete Townshend. The documentary had a theatrical release, premiered at The London Film Festival and will be screened on major platforms in 2022. Sadie’s latest acting roles have been in films such as NOCTURNAL (Dir-Nathalie Biancheri) LUCID (Dir- Adam Morse), WAITING FOR ANYA (Dir- Ben Cookson) and A BIRD FLEW IN (Dir- Kirsty Bell), which will be released in 2021. Sadie co starred along side Frances Barber, Derek Jacobi and Camilla Rutherford. Sadie has recently starred in THE CHELSEA COWBOY (Dir- Ben Cookson), alongside Alex Pettyfer, Poppy Delevinge and Charlie Creed Miles.

Sadie's latest project “Twiggy” will be a feature-length documentary on the iconic supermodel 'Dame Lesley Lawson', better known as Twiggy. Co-produced by Soho Talent, it will trace her journey from her working-class childhood in northwest London, through to her international stardom as a celebrity model, and her career as an actor, singer, fashion designer, writer and TV presenter. This will be the first time Twiggy’s story has been told in full and with her support.
