Caroline Quentin is one of the few British actresses that proves that not all the greats are American.
Carolien is best known for her role as Dorothy in old-skool 90's British hit "Men behaving badly".
But I know her more for her role as the infamous crime-writer Madeline Magellan in the cult show Jonathan Creek. Me and my mum love her which is a surprise as we are both hard-to-please people. We love the way she captures emotions and certain quotes and scenes that will go down in British history. She has 2 children I hear, so maybe she is taking a break from acting. But I hope that is the reason she hasn't been on our screens recently. She is very underrrated and can pull off any role given!moreless

Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Caroline: I never knew that being a mum would be this great. It's a love like no other. It's unconditional and fantastic. I get tearful just thinking about it. I worship my children. Some people think that you're not meant to, but I can't help it. They're perfect in every way. Some say that you should distance yourself from your kids, but to me they're the best thing in the world. And I'll punch anyone who says anything different.
-
Caroline: I know that when I'm working I'm not with my children enough. Something has to give. You can't have everything.
