Saskia Reeves was born in August 16, 1961 [1] [2] of a Dutch mother and English father, and brought up in Twickenham and Paddington, London.[ citation needed ] Reeves attended the Lady Eleanor Holles School in Hampton.[ citation needed ]
According to Reeves, her father was an actor, writer and singer. As a teenager, while her parents did not encourage her, she and her sister attended weekend acting workshops "for a laugh". Reeves was faring poorly in high school, missing classes and not doing homework, and didn't take her university-qualifying A-level exams. She discovered "drama school" as an alternative to university that didn't require A-levels; it sounded like "brilliant fun" and would give her three years to figure out her future. [3] She attended London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama. [4] She then worked for a year and a half as a waitress before getting a "decent job in a theatre in Wales", followed by other jobs, until she concluded, "I could earn a living at this". [3]
Early in her career Reeves performed in puppet shows [5] and in satirical revues at the Covent Garden Community Theatre.[ citation needed ] Her television credits include Spooks , The Commander , and the Bodies finale.
Her stage work includes productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company and at London's Royal National Theatre. [6] In 2008, she starred in English Touring Theatre's revival of Athol Fugard's Hello and Goodbye at the Trafalgar Studios in London. [7]
In 2010, she starred as Anne Darwin, the wife of John Darwin, in BBC4's Canoe Man, a dramatization of the John Darwin disappearance case, [8] and co-starred in the BBC1 series Luther .[ citation needed ]
In 2011, Reeves played the matriarch, Anna Brangwen, in the first part of William Ivory's two-part adaptation of D. H. Lawrence's novels The Rainbow and Women in Love , first shown on BBC4. [9]
She co-stars with Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas in the Apple TV series Slow Horses (2022–present).

Reeves has two children. [6]
