Personal life

[edit]

Waterman's father was in the British Army, her grandfather flew Spitfires during World War II.[2] Her mother teaches children with learning disabilities.[2]

Waterman attended boarding school in Somerset, England. Waterman focused on athletics, but a back injury curtailed a promising career as a high jumper.[2] Switching to a more academic course of study, she entered Oxford University, where she read Geography.[2] After graduating, she began modeling as a way to see the world and was eventually brought to Los Angeles by the prestigious Elite Agency.[5][2]

Her first roles were bit parts in Side Out and Die Hard 2, playing a stewardess in both films. Her first film in a lead role was 1991's Lena's Holiday, in which she played an East German tourist in Los Angeles who gets caught up in a murder plot.

She currently resides in California, USA.
