Watching TV as a youngster, Liz saw barely any LGBTQI folks and damaging portrayals of people with disabilities. But armed with talent, candour and an irrepressible sense of humour, she succeeded in carving out a phenomenal career in showbiz. After eight years in BBC One’s Silent Witness, as forensics technician Clarissa Mullery, now Hollywood is calling. Whether starring on the silver screen, campaigning for equal rights or vlogging with her wife, Liz is ripping apart the fucked-up rulebook and creating the compelling, authentic representation she so badly needed when she was growing up.
