Growing up on the outskirts of London, Kingston was first introduced to the theater when she and her family visited her mother's native Germany to see her uncle perform. She made her own stage debut at age 5, playing the angel Gabriel in a nativity play. My mother made me these big, beautiful wings, said Kingston. And the other kids, without wings, were all jealous. I was very excited--and then more than a bit upset when I discovered that Gabriel was really a guy.
Kingston was inspired to pursue an acting career by her English teacher at the all-girls grammar school she attended in Epsom, where she often had leading roles in school plays. She landed her first professional role at age 15 as a judo-trained bully on the successful British TV series Grange Hill.
After finishing school, she moved to London, where she was accepted into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Kingston completed the two-year study program, and worked in repertory theater across England. She joined the famed Royal Shakespeare Company, where she appeared in many theatrical production. She also starred in various productions for the Birmingham Repertory. While Kingston tended to play classical characters on the stage, she took on more contemporary roles in British television programs and in American TV movies.
Since she is no longer obligated to a major network show, Kingston has returned to live theatre as well as major motion pictures.
Kingston lives in Los Angeles with her husband, daughter and dog. Her birthday is March eleventh.
