Jenna Louise Coleman



Jenna-Louise Coleman is a British actress, born in Blackpool in 1986. Her previous roles include Jasmine Thomas in Emmerdale, Lindsay James in Waterloo Road, Connie (one of Steve and Bucky's dates at the fair) in Captain America the First Avenger, and the voice of Melia in Xenoblade. She also features in ITV 1's 2012 Titanic miniseries.

None of that is why this page exists, though.

What triggered that was the announcement she had been cast as "Clara" the (then) new Companion on Doctor Who alongside Matt Smith's Doctor, making her first appearance in the 2012 Christmas Episode.

She's said to be able to talk even faster than Matt, which helped win her the part.
