Lauren Booth's Biography

Lauren Booth, who was born on 22 July 1967, wrote in The Sunday Times about her childhood:

"When I was a child I lived with my parents in Hampstead, north London. My father, the actor Tony Booth, split his time between the bookies, the pub and radicalising me. He was a dyed-in-the-wool socialist and, like many parents of that era, thought it appropriate to pass on his beliefs."

Tony Booth, famous for his role in Till Death Do Us Part, is also the father of Cherie Blair.

Sometimes the media comment on a potentially embarrassing quote from Lauren Booth about Tony Blair, but this video of her at a demonstration shows her views as quite explicit.
