Prime Suspect: Tennison
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Prime Suspect: Tennison Stefanie Martini Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect: Tennison It’s been a busy two years for Stefanie Martini since she graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2015. Starring as the young Jane Tennison in MASTERPIECE’s eagerly awaited Prime Suspect prequel, she also appeared on the series last July in a spine-tingling episode of Endeavour, which featured a homicidal tiger. And since May, Amazon audiences have been swooning over her lead role in Julian Fellowes’ lavish adaptation of the Trollope novel Doctor Thorne, in which she plays the angelic heroine opposite Tom Hollander (her uncle in the plot) and Harry Richardson (her character’s heartthrob). In addition to Prime Suspect: Tennison, 2017 will see her portraying Lady Ev in NBC’s ten-part fantasy miniseries Emerald City, and she will appear alongside Gillian Anderson, Glenn Close, and Christina Hendricks in the film adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Crooked House.
