Trivia

Began modeling at 10 years old.

She lived with Bruce Robinson for ten years after meeting him at age 15. She came to America at age 17.
She is the mother of two sons - George-Edward, born c. 1998 from her marriage to Don E. FauntLeRoy, and Jack, born c. 1982 from her marriage to William Friedkin.
When she was filming "Days of Our Lives" (1965), her father was due to leave to go back to England but suddenly had an angiogram, pains in his chest, resulting in a quadruple bypass operation.
Family: Mother Isobel (from Scotland, UK) who passed away c. 2000, father Jack/James (from UK), aunt Fran and uncle Michael.
She met future husband Don E. FauntLeRoy when she was filming the miniseries "North and South" (1985).
She and first husband Enrique Gabriel met on the set of Sphinx (1981) and were married only a few days later. Their marriage was a short one and ended in an annulment. Lesley-Anne recalls her marriage as an "exciting ride". Not long after her annulment, she met director William Friedkin, whom she later married.
Originally, Maud Adams was to star in The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) but after she'd been filming for two days the role was recast for some reason and Lesley-Anne Down got the part instead.
She spent her early childhood formative years in the Putney area of London, England and spent time with her uncle Michael, a major in the British army.
Left school when she was 12 years-old.
After she made her name in "Upstairs, Downstairs" (1971), nude photos taken by Kirk Douglas's son Peter Douglas, appeared in British mens' magazine Mayfair. She later went to court to have the originals returned to her.
