LYSETTE ANTHONY might be 52 but that won’t stop her sinking her teeth into
every man in HOLLYOAKS.
The movie star has joined the soap as high-maintenance superbitch Marnie
Nightingale — and no male is safe from her character.
She told TV Biz: “I have a new saying, ‘It’s ‘the power of Milf, fasten your
seat belt!’
“There is no male unturned. Oh, it’s brilliant. I can’t complain about days at
the office at the moment. We take it as far as the censors will allow.”
Lysette started as a model and, aged just 16, she was dubbed “The Face of the
Eighties” by legendary photographer David Bailey.
She later became a Hollywood star, appearing in Woody Allen’s Husbands and
Wives and Look Who’s Talking Now.
Today the actress is still looking her best — without any help from either
Botox or cosmetic surgery.
She said: “I’m 52 now. I’ve never lied about my age.
“There’s an hour of make-up on the show and I’m very, very well looked after
but you know you just have to take care of yourself.
“I’ve always looked ten years younger. When I was younger I hated it and now
obviously I’m cashing in!”

Like Lysette, her character Marnie is very glamorous but her expensive
wardrobe has left the rest of the cast feeling a bit left out.
Lysette said: “They made a mistake of putting Prada in the screen test and
Alex, our fantastic designer, said, ‘Well, they wrote it in the script!’”
But Lysette hasn’t always been wearing designer gear. After her divorce in
2010, she ended up being a homeless single mum to her son Jimi.
She said: “It was middle class homelessness — friends offered us things.
“We went from a big house to a spare room but that’s not great when you have a
six-year-old son. It was a very difficult time.”
Now her role on Hollyoaks is going so well, she is setting up home in
Liverpool with Jimi, who is now 11.
She revealed: “I’m buying a place on the dock, which I’m very excited about.”
