SOPHIA MYLES

Myles is the daughter of Jane, who works in educational publishing, and Peter Myles, a retired Anglican vicar in Isleworth, West London. Her maternal grandmother was Russian. She grew up in Notting Hill, where her father worked at the church of St. George the Martyr, and attended Fox Primary School. At the age of eleven, Myles moved with her family to Isleworth. Following success at her A-levels, she had been planning to accept a conditional place to study philosophy at Cambridge, but chose to pursue an acting career after being spotted by Julian Fellowes in a school play.
