Orla was raised by highly religious parents, and studied at a Loreto Convent. Upon matriculating in 1979, she enrolled at an Ursuline Convent in Dublin, from which she obtained her Bachelor’s degree in 1983. It was while at college that she became interested in acting, and began appearing in plays performed at college, and at a local theatre. Following graduation, Orla spent a couple of years appearing in theatre plays, then when she turned 25, she moved to Paris in France to attend L’Ecole Philippe Gaulier, followed by her enrollment at Marcel Marceau’s Ecole Internationale de Mimodrame de Paris.

Roles in TV series

After close to a decade of appearing solely in theatre plays, in 1991 aged 30, Orla made her debut TV series appearance, in the episode “South of the Border” of the comedy “So You Think You’ve Got Troubles”.

The rest of the ‘90s saw her appear in an episode or two of various series, such as the drama “Casualty”, the crime comedy “Minder” and the crime drama “Dangerfield”, while her most notable performances were a lead role in the crime drama “Out of the Blue”, and in the drama “Noah’s Ark”.

Between 2000 and 2002, Orla starred as Naoise O’Neill in the romantic crime drama “Family Law”, created by Anne Kenney, and which also starred Kathleen Quinlan and Christopher McDonald. It follows the lives of lawyers working at a renowned law firm, which focuses on family law; the series won seven of the 15 awards for which it was nominated, including a Primetime Emmy nomination. The rest of the 2000s saw Orla play supporting characters in a couple of series, such as the drama mini-series “Servants”, the drama “Proof”, and the mystery fantasy drama “Revelations”.

In 2012, she was cast to play Mrs. Sheringham in the fantasy drama “Eternal Law”, created by Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham, and in which she starred alongside Samuel West and Ukweli Roach. It follows angels who are guiding people in the English town of York.

Three of Orla’s most recent roles in TV series have been in four episodes of the horror thriller drama “American Horror Story” in 2019, three episodes of the action adventure drama “Star Trek: Picard” in 2020, and six episodes of the drama “The South Westerlies” also in 2020.

Orla gained recognition in 2000, with her portrayal of the supporting character Anna, in the romantic drama “The Luzhin Defence”, written by Peter Berry based on the novel by Vladimir Nabokov, and directed by Marleen Gorris. It starred John Turturro, Emily Watson and Geraldine James, and follows a genius who falls in love with a beautiful young girl – the film won three of the five awards for which it was nominated. The early 2000s saw her play lead roles in a couple of movies, such as the thriller drama “Fogbound”, the crime thriller “The Debt” and the crime thriller drama “Lawless”, then in 2007, Orla starred alongside Joss Ackland and Hayley Atwell, in the comedy drama “How About You”. It follows a British woman who’s spending Christmas taking care of the residents of a retirement home.

Orla was mostly focused on appearing in TV series in the following years, and a couple of her most recent movie roles have been in the 2017 action thriller “The Foreigner”, the 2019 drama “A Girl from Mogadishu” and the 2019 drama “Rose Plays Julie”.

Orla has been nominated for seven Irish Film and Television Awards, and a 2012 Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films Saturn Award. Most of these were for her performance in the mini-series “Servants”, and the series’ “Mistresses” and “Sinbad”.

Love life and husband Nick Brandt

Orla moved to Los Angeles, California in 2001, and not long afterwards met Nick Brandt, a popular British photographer, who’s mostly focused on taking pictures of disappearing nature and the environment. The two spent just over a year together, and then married in a private ceremony held in the mountain range Chyulu Hills in Kenya, in December 2002, attended by their closest friends and family members.

A couple of years into the marriage, the two moved to Southern California, and are today living in the mountains.

They don’t have children, and it’s widely believed that they have chosen not to, because they both want to focus on their careers. However, there are also those who claim that perhaps one of them is infertile, but this hasn’t been confirmed.

Orla Brady: ‘I felt Ireland was a very repressive place to be a woman’

The actor on new thriller rose plays julie, and how her native country has changed for the better since leaving in the 1980s.

It is a pleasure to welcome Orla Brady home. Raised in Bray, the actor has been pottering about the theatres and soundstages of the world since her mid-20s. She has worked at the National Theatre in London. She has been in TV series such as Nip/Tuck, Wallander and Fringe. She was among the title characters in Mistresses. She has been in American Horror Story. She is (trivia nuts take heed) one among that select band to have significant roles in both Dr Who and an incarnation of Star Trek.

Few contemporaries have worked so consistently and so fruitfully. Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy, the experimental film-makers sometimes known as Desperate Optimists, were lucky to get her for their oblique, spiky new thriller Rose Plays Julie. Brady is excellent as an actress surprised to encounter the daughter she gave up years earlier. She has never been better.

I had a lot of shame – as a lot of Irish women did. It's what you swam in. It's what the nuns programmed you for. Irish society was not a great place

“I read it and when I put it down I thought: I’ve really got to do this,” she tells me. “I really, really want to do it in a way that I rarely feel. It’s funny. You get a quiet certainty that you know what to do – that you know what to do with this woman. I got on Skype from California and we had a lovely meeting.”

I naively think that, when you get to her level, you no longer need to prove yourself to casting agents and producers. They just know who you are.

Get you, wee man: There’s nothing wrong with my accent – and you shouldn’t need subtitles

How Hollywood blockbusters inspired 9/11 – and vice versa

“You’d be amazed,” she says. “At a certain stage I said to my agent: ‘I am not going to meetings.’ They said: ‘You have to.’ I said I will send a tape. I remember one time I said: ‘Tell them I am out of town.’ Because I could easily have been in Ireland. I sent them a tape.”

Brady is one hell of a talker. She goes on to walk me through the procedure by which she secured her charming role as a Romulan in Star Trek: Picard. She explains how the audition process pressurises actors into using most of their energy to suppress nervousness. Technology helps with that.

“When you’re offered things it is lovely,” she says. “When I’m offered things I tend to do better – because the first feeling is they want me to do it. They think I can do it. That’s great. That’s reassuring.”

If Brady had emerged a decade or two later she may not have felt the need to leave the country. Ann Skelly, her fast-rising young co-star in Rose Plays Julie, began her career in Irish productions such as Rebellion, Red Rock and Kissing Candice. When Brady left the nation – first for Paris, where she trained at École Philippe Gaulier – work was thinner on the ground. There were other pressures.

“There wasn’t much work,” she says. “It was partly that and partly I personally felt it was a very repressive place to be a woman. I believe I’m right about that. It was not a great place to be a woman. I had a lot of shame – as a lot of Irish women did. It’s what you swam in. It’s what the nuns programmed you for. Irish society was not a great place. I’m from a long time ago. This was me growing up as a teenager in the 70s and coming into the 80s as an adult. It was still a harsh place as a woman.”

She remembers how you had to be in certain “circles” to get work on stage or on screen. Not that the move to Paris and then London would have been easy. She was a young woman adrift in a sometimes threatening industry. One shivers just thinking about it.

“Oh, I remember going to London and being very terrified of it,” she says. “And everyone manages to come up to you and go: ‘Ah, Jesus, you know, such and such went there. Never heard from her again.’ I call it the actor’s ghost story. ‘She was great. Got an agent. Went to London. Never heard of her.’ And this was just London. Forget America! Ha, ha. But I remember thinking I had no choice.”

Did she ever feel those doomsayers may have been correct? In the early years, as she toiled in other jobs to keep herself aloft, did she ever suspect that the actor’s ghost story may have been describing her?

“No, actually. I made a decision,” she says. “I wasn’t that confident in the beginning, but anyone in this business has to have a little bit of belief tucked away somewhere. You don’t know if you’re going to be good, because you are untested. I really was determined to have a go when I went to London.”

It's obviously been lovely working with certain male directors, but back in the day, there was a kind of a flirtiness that went with it all. That could sometimes feel somewhat threatening

We know now – in truth we always suspected – that actresses were routinely mistreated in the business. I hardly need to ask if she ever had uncomfortable experiences with male directors.

“It’s obviously been lovely working with certain male directors, but back in the day, there was a kind of a… um… yes, a flirtiness that went with it all. That could sometimes feel somewhat threatening.”

Sadly, almost every actress seems to have experienced this.

“Well, we thought it was inevitable and we didn’t believe we could do anything about it,” she says. “And we thought it was our fault. If you got into a sticky situation you’d run off thinking: F**k, what [did] I do? Did I say something? And, of course, you hadn’t done anything.”

If the younger Brady was as focussed as she seems now she must have been a formidable presence. From the 1990s and through to the turn of the century she continued to do good work. She was strong in the fine TV series Noah's Ark for ITV. Seek her out as hunger striker in Maeve Murphy's fine Silent Grace from 2001. In that same year she moved to Los Angeles where she met and married photographer Nick Brandt, but she continued to take roles in the UK and Ireland. It feels like an exhausting life.

“The past few years have been busy in a lovely way,” she says.

Yet, returning to the start of this pleasantly rambling conversation, it is worth wondering if an emerging Brady would be so keen to leave Ireland now. She has had plenty of opportunities to consider the changes. Into the Badlands, the zany martial arts series she appeared in from 2015 to 2019, shot in both New Orleans and Ireland. Do younger actors feel about Ireland as she did in the 1980s? I am betting not.

“No, not at all. No, no, no, no!” she says forcefully.

But over those two years I thought: Oh, this is a different Ireland and it accepts me now. It didn't before

She remembers watching the referendum on marriage equality from abroad and marvelling that the country had determined to “become an inclusive society”. This was not the same nation she had left.

“We were making a very different statement about ourselves,” she says. “And this just rocked me – that Ireland had changed to that degree. Then I came over and I was here during the second referendum. I remember thinking: If anybody had ever asked me over the years, ‘Would you ever go back to Ireland?’ I would have said, ‘Absolutely not’. No question. I love it, but I would never live there again, again. Absolutely not. But over those two years I thought: Oh, this is a different Ireland and it accepts me now. It didn’t before.”

Anyway, back to the work. Brady has continued to clock up the credits over the past two or three years. When she was cast opposite Patrick Stewart in Star Trek: Picard she really did join the likes of David Warner, Steven Berkoff and a few others as people of interest to Trekkers and Whovians. She seems to have loved going among the fans. She has become part of online conversations.

“I went there and I thought it was really lovely,” she says of the Comic-Con convention in San Diego. “Take no offence, but I thought there was something lovely about cutting out the middleman. You do an interview with a journalist and the writer gives an impression of you and fans read it. You were there on a panel and fans were asking you questions.”

She’s on a roll again.

“And I remember thinking: this is all good. People are here as families. Misfits are here. There needs to be a place for misfits. No one’s drinking. No one’s fighting. They are all here dressing up. I loved it. I know that’s uncool.”

Early Life, Education, and Career Beginnings

While Orla was born in Dublin, her family later settled in Bray, Wicklow, Ireland, where she grew up alongside three siblings. During her time there, she studied at the Loreto Convent, an educational system created by the Roman Catholic group, the Loreto Sisters. She also took lessons at Dublin’s Ursuline Convent, a system of schools that traces its origin back to Italy during the 1500s.

Growing up, she developed an interest in acting though she didn’t pursue it at a young age.

It was only when she was 25 years old that she realized she wanted to turn professional, and she moved to Paris where she developed her skills while studying at the L’Ecole Philippe Gaulier, known to be one of the prestigious theatre schools in the country. There she also studied under Marcel Marceau, who is known for his achievements in acting as well as in mime artistry. Following the completion of her education, she joined the Baloonatics Theatre Company, which led her to work on a few stage productions, including “Finnegans Wake” and “Hamlet”.

Path to On-Camera Work

Following a few projects in France, Brady returned to Ireland where she also became involved in the local theatre scene. She was in the production of “House of Bernarda Alba”, and later in “Three Sisters” in which she played the role of Natasha; the play originated in 1901 and is considered one of the best plays created by playwright Anton Chekhov. Looking for more opportunities, she moved to London and became a part of a production of “Philadelphia, Here I Come!”, which opened the door for one of her earliest professional stage roles in “Blinded by the Sun”.

It wasn’t long before she also started taking professional opportunities on television and film., frequenting both London and Dublin for projects. She appeared in “A Love Divided” as the character Sheila Cloney, with her performance leading her to a Golden Nymph Best Actress Award. She also worked on the series “Mistresses”, a British show about the complex lives of several women. In 1994, she made her debut in film, appearing in “ Words Upon a Window Pane ” which starred her alongside Geraldine Chaplin and Ian Richardson. Soon, more film work came her way such as “The Luhzin Defense”.

Hollywood Career

In 2001 Orla moved to Los Angeles where she gained more opportunities and larger contracts. She worked on the television series “Family Law” during its final season – the show follows a divorced lawyer who aims to establish a law practice after her husband left her. Following her work there, Orla then gained a guest appearance in “Nip/Tuck” before being cast as a recurring character in the series “ Shark ”, playing the role of the ex-wife of James Woods’ character. The legal drama show aired for two seasons on CBS.

She still did work in the UK, mainly returning to do projects with the BBC.

She appeared in an episode of “Wallander”, before also working on the series “Hustle”. In 2009, she was cast in the television series “ Fringe ”, playing the role of Peter Bishop’s mother, Elizabeth. The series was created by JJ Abrams, and is inspired by various science fiction shows, including “The X-Files” and “Lost”. The show became very popular during its run and developed a cult following, with Orla part of the show for three seasons. She then pursued other projects such as in  “Agatha Christie’s Poirot”, and a special episode of “Doctor Who”.

Recent Projects – Rise to Prominence

In 2015, Orla was cast in one of the main roles in the television series “Into the Badlands”, alongside Daniel Wu, Sarah Bolger and Aramis Knight.

The show aired on AMC and tells the story of a warrior who is joined by a young boy as they travel across a post-apocalypse world set 500 years after a catastrophe that destroyed most of civilization. This new world relies more on crossbows and melee weapons, with guns being shunned. She stayed with the show for three seasons before its cancellation .

Afterwards, she was cast as a recurring character in “American Horror Story: 1984” the ninth season of the anthology series. this iteration of the show is inspired by slasher films such as “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th”.

One of her most recent projects is “ Star Trek: Picard ” which was released in 2020. The web series continues the story of retired Captain Picard played by Patrick Stewart, as it explores his life 20 years after the events of “Star Trek: Nemesis”. The show was purposefully designed to be slower and focused more on the characters. The show was met with positive reviews, though it has also received criticism for its slow pace.

Personal Life

After moving to the US, Orla met photographer Nick Brandt in 2001 – he is also from the UK and is best known for his work on the natural world before it is destroyed by the works of men. They dated for a year before deciding to marry, holding their ceremony in the Chyulu Hills of Kenya. It is not known if the couple has any children; they now reside in Southern California.

What marked the 2000s for her was perhaps playing Ellen Rush in five episodes (2006-2007) of the crime mystery “Cold Case”, which starred Danny Pino and Kathryn Morris, and was created by Meredith Stiehm. It follows a detective who’s solving old cases, the series aired from 2003 through 2010, and won 12 of its 39 award nominations.

Some of Meredith’s most recent TV series roles have been in 10 episodes of the 2014 drama “Finding Carter”, the 2015 episode “Some Things Are Black and White” of the romantic thriller “Being Mary Jane”, and the 2016 episode “Landslide” of the drama “Code Black”.

Meredith’s debut film role was playing Tracy in the 1972 comedy “Stand Up and Be Counted”, and some of her following roles were in the horror thriller “Ben”, the horror mystery “The Invasion of Carol Enders”, and the horror “The Cat Creature” all in 1973.

What marked the ‘70s for her was perhaps playing Patricia Peterson in the romantic mystery “Bittersweet Love”, directed by David Miller, and which starred Lana Turner, Robert Lansing and Celeste Holm; it follows a young married couple who are about to welcome their first baby, while they’ve now learned that they are half-brother and sister.

Most of the movies in which she appeared in the ‘90s were rather unsuccessful, with the exception of the 1997 crime mystery “Let Me Call You Sweetheart”, in which she starred alongside Victor Garber and Nick Mancuso, and which was directed by Bill Corcoran. It follows a female prosecutor who believes that she’s just seen a woman who was murdered 10 years earlier.

Meredith played Mrs Caroline Hubbard in the popular 2001 crime mystery “Murder on the Orient Express”, and could then have been seen appearing in the 2002 drama “A Christmas Visitor”, the 2004 fantasy “Angel in the Family”, and the 2009 drama “Bound by a Secret”.

Meredith’s three most recent movie roles have been in the 2016 comedy “Skirtchasers”, the 2019 romantic comedy “Undateable John”, and the 2020 romantic drama “Christmas on the Vine”.

Meredith’s been nominated for nine awards – these include three Primetime Emmys, two for her performance in “Family” in 1977 and 1978, and the third for “A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story” in 1992. She’s also been nominated for two Daytime Emmys, two Photoplay Awards and a TV Land Award.

Meredith’s married four times. Her first husband was American actor and costumer Robert Lewis Bush; they married on 23 June 1966, and Meredith gave birth to their son Theodore Justin ‘Ted’ Bush on 10 May 1967, while their daughter Eva Whitney Bush followed on 6 August 1969. Meredith and Robert divorced in November 1971.

Her second husband was the late American actor and director David Edwin Birney; they married on 10 April 1974, and divorced on 13 September 1990. Meredith gave birth to their daughter Kathleen Jeanne ‘Kate’ Birney on 5 December 1974, and their twins Peter David Edwin Birney and Mollie Elizabeth Birney followed on 2 October 1984. Meredith revealed in her memoir “Untied” that David had physically and emotionally abused her, while he denied this.

She was married to American actor and novelist Michael Blodgett from 21 October 1995 through 2000.

Since 8 December 2013, Meredith’s been married to her wife Nancy Locke; she revealed during an interview in the show “Today” on 2 December 2009 that she was a lesbian, and that she was only able to understand why her marriages had failed after she accepted her sexual orientation.
