Kathy Burke has been on a self-imposed break from acting for the past decade. When asked about upcoming work she replied, “Probably not… I’m not working. I’m having a break ... [Although] Never say never.”
The Gimme Gimme Gimme star made an exception for Steve McQueen’s Blitz after the director personally asked her. McQueen also pushed her to write her memoir A Mind of My Own, stressing that working-class stories matter.
