Sarah Douglas

This week on Scarred For Life, Andy and Dave are joined by actor and sci-fi icon Sarah Douglas.

Best known as the fearsome Ursa in the classic Superman films, Sarah looks back on a remarkable career that has taken her from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre to Hollywood, via Superman II, Falcon Crest, Babylon 5 and Conan the Destroyer.

Along the way she shares stories of working with Christopher Reeve, Terence Stamp, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Grace Jones and John Pertwee, reveals how being "cranky" may have helped her land the role of Ursa, and explains why she eventually learned to embrace the character that changed her life.

Her three scars include a terrifying on-set gun incident during Superman II that left her with a lifelong distrust of weapons on set, a traumatic prosthetics experience that triggered years of claustrophobia and anxiety, and a deeply personal story about meeting her estranged father for the first and last time.

It's funny, moving, brutally honest and packed with incredible behind-the-scenes stories from one of British genre cinema's most memorable stars.
