Patricia Jude Francis "Patsy" Kensit, (born 4 March 1968) is an English actress, singer, model and former child star, known for her television and film appearances; her films include Lethal Weapon 2. She has been married to rock stars Jim Kerr and Liam Gallagher, and fronted the band Eighth Wonder. In May 2004, she returned to television acting, taking the role of Sadie King in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale. Born to James Henry Kensit (1915–1987) and Margaret Rose Kensit (née Doohan, 1947–1993), a native of Ireland who died from breast cancer, Patricia Kensit has an older brother who is named Jamie.Her mother was a publicist; her father was an associate of the notorious London gangsters the Kray twins. Nicknamed "Jimmy the Dip", he was also reportedly an associate of the rival Richardsons, running long firms for the gang. He served time in prison before Kensit was born; she believed he was an antiques dealer.Her paternal grandfather was a robber and counterfeiter, and her brother's godfather was Reggie Kray. She attended Corona Theatre School. Kensit is a practising Catholic  having begun attending church after her mother's death. At the age of four, Kensit appeared in a television advert for Birds Eye frozen peas.  In 1972, she had her first big screen role in the film For the Love of Ada. Her next film role was two years later in The Great Gatsby starring with Mia Farrow—whom she would later portray in the 1995 biopic Love and Betrayal: The Mia Farrow Story. She also appeared in a BBC mini series based on the famous historical novel Penmarric (1979). As a pupil at the Italia Conti Academy stage school, Kensit's first starring roles were in British children's television programmes such as The Adventures of Pollyanna (1982) and Luna (in the title role). She also appeared as Estella in a BBC adaptation of Great Expectations in 1981 and as Lady Margaret Plantagenet in the 1982 BBC Television Shakespeare production of Richard III. Kensit has been married four times. In 1988, she married Dan Donovan of band Big Audio Dynamite. In 1992, she married Jim Kerr, lead singer of Simple Minds. During her second marriage, she gave birth to her first child, James in 1993. In 1997, she married Liam Gallagher from Oasis. Kensit and Gallagher had a son, Lennon born 13 September 1999, named after John Lennon; they divorced in 2000. Lennon's godmother is actress Elizabeth Hurley.By 2000, Kensit's private life had brought her to as much attention as her acting or singing, as the tabloid newspapers detailed the breakdown of her marriage to Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr and her romance with Oasis singer Liam Gallagher. Her career stalled as she focused on her marriage, over which she claimed to cry every day until it ended as it eventually headed towards divorce. This personal downward spiral led to the resumption of her acting career. After reported relationships with Jamie Foreman, Ally McCoist, Calum Best, David Walliams, Matt Holbrook and in 2005 with Jean-Christophe Novelli, Kensit began dating rap artist and beatboxer Killa Kela. They split up after a year, with Kensit stating that she did not see a future with Killa. Kensit later became involved with the DJ Jeremy Healy and announced that she was marrying for a fourth time on 29 November 2007.  On 31 March 2008 it was reported that the pair had split by mutual consent and had called off their wedding. They eventually married on 18 April 2009, in an event covered by a magazine but the Daily Mail reported in February 2010 that the couple had separated. Kensit has vowed never to marry again following this split, describing it as "embarrassing and humiliating" . Kensit has three tattoos: on her back; above the blade of her left foot (Gaelic words); and on her ankle. She changed the tattoo of her ex-husband's name from Liam to the name of their son, Lennon. Kensit is a staunch Roman Catholic. She and co-star Mel Gibson both had concerns over a love scene in Lethal Weapon 2, as both actors were married and Catholic, playing characters who were having unmarried sex. The scene was reduced to alleviate their concerns.
