Biography

Bowker was born in Shawford, Hampshire, England. Her family moved to the British colony of Northern Rhodesia when Bowker was two, and lived there for eight years. She had many interests, including painting and riding.[1] But she was most interested in acting, and she began to pursue her acting career after her family returned to England. She first came to international attention as the star of The Adventures of Black Beauty (1972), a television series which was a continuation of the book. In an interview, Bowker stated that her experience in riding horses was probably the key to her being cast in the role. She also recalled how some of the Black Beauty episodes were set in springtime, but filmed in winter, so that sometimes she had to wear summer outfits in cold weather.[2]

Also in 1972 Bowker starred as Saint Clare of Assisi in Franco Zeffirelli's Brother Sun, Sister Moon.

Her well-known film appearances are as Mina Harker in the 1977 film Count Dracula, Andromeda in the Ray Harryhausen film, Clash of the Titans (1981), and as Lady Olivia Lilburn in Alan Bridges' adaptation of Isabel Colegate's novel The Shooting Party (1985).

Personal life

Bowker married Harry Meacher in 1979.[3]
