How old was Keeley Hawes in Ashes to Ashes?
At her age, most working actresses are still child-free. So the money from her beauty contract gives Keeley and her second husband, 34-year-old actor Matthew MacFadyen, the freedom to do the kind of projects they’re really interested in rather than having to sign up, say, for the regular money offered by a soap.
‘Back then everyone wanted to look like Chris Cagney from the female cop shows Cagney & Lacey,’ says Keeley, who wears a Cagney half-wig on top of her real hair in the new series of Ashes.
