Victoria O'Keefe

Victoria O'Keefe was born on March 27, 1969 in England. Victoria attended St. Joseph's RC School, St. John Fisher RC High School, and Dewsbury College in Dewsbury, England. She joined the Dewsbury Arts Group at age eleven. O'Keefe played the title character in the children's TV mini-series "Letty" and World War II evacuee Nicole Burke on two episodes of the TV show "Nanny." Victoria gave a very strong and impressive performance in the powerful BBC docudrama "Threads" as Jane, a laconic and apathetic teenager who's forced to live a grim and thankless existence in a harsh and unforgiving world that's been ravaged by a nuclear war. O'Keefe acted in stage productions of the plays "Beauty and the Beast," "All My Sons," and "Daisy Pulls It Off" for the Dewsbury Arts Group. Her final film role was the female lead in the fifteen minute short "Positively Negative." Victoria's life was tragically cut short at age twenty-one when she was killed in an automobile accident on the M62 motorway nearby Bold, Merseyside, England on April 18, 1990.
