Shirley Henderson (born 24 November 1965) is a Scottish actress. She is perhaps best known for her role as Moaning Myrtle in ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'' (2002) and ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' (2005).
Henderson then moved into films, playing Morag in ''Rob Roy'' (1995) and Spud's girlfriend Gail in Danny Boyle's ''Trainspotting'' (1996). She continued her work in the theatre, including many productions at the National Theatre in London. 1999 saw critically acclaimed performances in Mike Leigh's ''Topsy-Turvy'' — which also provided an opportunity for her to show off her singing skills — and Michael Winterbottom's ''Wonderland''.
She played Jude in both ''Bridget Jones'' films and got the part of Moaning Myrtle in ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'' (2002), and ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' (2005). She also played French princess Sophie-Philippine in Sofia Coppola's ''Marie Antoinette'' (2006).
Small-screen appearances have included playing Marie Melmotte in ''The Way We Live Now'' (2001); Catherine of Braganza in ''Charles II: The Power and the Passion'' (2003); Charlotte in ''Dirty Filthy Love'' (2004); Ursula Blake in the ''Doctor Who'' episode "Love & Monsters" (2006); and Emmeline Fox in ''The Crimson Petal and the White'' (2011).

Anderson attended St. John's Infants School in Baxenden, Accrington. There he made a tentative start to a musical career playing the washboard in "Little John's Skiffle Group", which played songs by Lonnie Donegan, among others. Anderson left school at the age of fifteen and went through a series of jobs including farm hand, lorry driver and milkman. Anderson tried to pursue a football career at Accrington Stanley F.C. but was turned down because of his frail constitution. He remains a fan of the club.
In March 1968 Anderson met bassist Chris Squire and joined him in a group called Mabel Greer's Toyshop, which had previously included guitarist Peter Banks. Anderson fronted this band but ended up leaving again before the summer was over. He remarks on his website that his time with the band consisted of "too many drugs, not enough fun!".
Anderson was fond of experimenting within the band and in so doing contributed to occasionally conflicted relationships within the band and with management. He originally wanted to record the album ''Tales from Topographic Oceans'' in the middle of the woods, and instead decided to put hay and animal cut-outs all over the recording studio. In another incident Anderson had tiles installed in the studio to simulate the echo effect of one's vocals in a bathroom.
Anderson last performed with Yes in 2004. A tour planned for summer 2008 with Anderson was cancelled when he suffered acute respiratory failure. The band have since announced a tour without him and he has been replaced by Benoît David, the lead vocalist in Yes tribute act Close to the Edge.
As of mid-2011, Anderson is collaborating with Rabin and Wakeman on a new Anderson-Wakeman-Rabin album, and likely some concerts in 2012. They're writing music, and Wakeman said he hopes the album is completed by the end of 2011. On tour, the group plans to perform Yes songs and new music. The group has unsuccessfully attempted to recruit Bruford to drum on the album.
Anderson is also responsible for most of the mystically-themed lyrics and concepts which are part of many Yes releases. These have occasionally alienated some members of the band (most notably Bruford and Rick Wakeman), contributing to their leaving the group. The lyrics are frequently inspired by various books Anderson has enjoyed, from Tolstoy's ''War and Peace'' to Hermann Hesse's ''Siddhartha''. A footnote in Paramahansa Yogananda's ''Autobiography of a Yogi'' inspired an entire double album ''Tales from Topographic Oceans'' (1973). Recurring themes include environmentalism, pacifism and sun-worship.
In 1984 Anderson appeared on the song "Cage Of Freedom" from the 1984 soundtrack for a re-release of the Fritz Lang silent film ''Metropolis''. In 1985 his song "This Time it Was Really Right" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie ''St. Elmo's Fire''. He also sang "Silver Train" and "Christie" on the film soundtrack ''Scream for Help''. Along with Tangerine Dream, he appeared on the song "Loved by the Sun" for the 1985 film ''Legend'' directed by Ridley Scott. The 1986 film ''Biggles: Adventures in Time'' features a song sung by Anderson. During this year, he recorded some demonstration tracks that would later be reworked. He and Vangelis also started writing and demonstrating new songs for another album. Though the album was not made, they performed live together on 6 November 1986.
The last three years of the eighties saw him singing (and briefly appearing in the music video) on "Moonlight Desires" on Gowan's album ''Great Dirty World'' in 1987. He recorded the album In the City of Angels and also sang on "Stop Loving You" on the Toto album ''The Seventh One'' in 1988, and in 1989 he recorded an album that would later be released as ''The Lost Tapes of Opio''. He also sang on the song "Far, Far Cry" for the Jonathan Elias album ''Requiem for the Americas''.
Although the supporting world tour was a commercial and critical success, praised by fans and band as one of Yes' best ever, the album was not as well-received, resulting in sales figures equivalent to those of the ABWH album (750,000 copies worldwide). ''Union'' would turn out to be Yes' last studio album to have significant sales, though it didn't match the popularity of 1987's ''Big Generator''. One of ''Union'''s singles, "Lift Me Up", became Yes' biggest hit on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart, reaching the top spot and remaining there for six weeks in early 1991.
In 1992 Anderson appeared on Kitaro's album ''Dream'', adding both lyrics and vocals to three songs: "Lady of Dreams", "Island of Life" and "Agreement". He planned to release an Ancient America-influenced solo album called ''The Power of Silence'' in 1993, but it was not released due to issues with Geffen Records. He also toured South America with a band that included his daughters, Deborah and Jade. He appeared on the song "Along The Amazon" which he co-wrote for guitarist Charlie Bisharat's album of the same name. He also recorded an orchestral solo album called ''Change We Must'' in 1993; it was released the following year.
In 1994 Anderson released a solo album of Latino-influenced music called ''Deseo''. There were plans to release a live album called ''The Best of South America'', but it was not released due to management issues though some copies were already released by ''Yes Magazine''. Anderson sang on the 7th Level children's video game ''Tuneland''. Also, his son Damion released a single called ''Close 2 the Hype'', which featured him and Jon on vocals. The next year he released a solo album called ''Angels Embrace'' and spoke of a plan to tour and record in China, but this idea was soon abandoned in favour of focusing on work with Yes. In 1996 ''The Power of Silence'' was released under the title ''Toltec''. This release included sound effects that were not on the original recording. Jon also played a ''Mother's Day'' concert in San Luis Obispo.
The year 1997 saw Anderson recording and releasing a Celtic-influenced solo album called ''The Promise Ring'', around the time he married Jane Luttenberger. During their honeymoon, ''Earthmotherearth'' was recorded and later released, followed in 1998 by an album called ''The More You Know'' that Jon and Jane recorded in Paris, France, with Francis Jocky. Anderson appeared on the song "The Only Thing I Need" by act 4Him in 1999; it was recorded for a multi-group album called "Streams". Steve Howe's tribute album ''Portraits of Bob Dylan'' also featured a cover of the Bob Dylan song, "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands", with Jon's vocals. He also recorded with a band called The Fellowship.
Anderson's earlier albums ''Olias of Sunhillow'' and ''Song of Seven'' were re-issued in 2006. ''Animation'' was tardily released on CD to complaints about the professionalism of the sound. To some ears, a later pressing used a better master, although the label "Voiceprint" denies any differences between the pressings. ''In Elven Lands'', an album containing Jon's recordings with The Fellowship, was also released as were the first seven volumes of a box set called ''The Lost Tapes''. Also in 2006, Anderson appeared with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (East Coast Troupe) during two 16 December shows in Philadelphia P.A. to play "Roundabout".
In 2007, Anderson contributed vocals to an album ''Culture of Ascent'' by American progressive rock group Glass Hammer; and appeared as part of a vocal ensemble on the track "Repentance" from the Dream Theater album ''Systematic Chaos''. During that year, Anderson also toured both the USA and England with The Paul Green School of Rock Music. Anderson's 1985 Christmas album ''3 Ships'' was also released on CD with bonus tracks.
The year 2008 saw an album of bird songs called ''From Me To You'' added to ''The Lost Tapes''. Anderson appeared on the song "Sadness of Flowing" which he co-wrote for Peter Machajdik's album ''Namah'' and he made similar contributions to a re-mastering of Tommy Zvoncheck's album "ZKG".
In 2009 Anderson played on a European tour called "Have Guitar, Will Travel". Later that year, his 1997 album ''EarthMotherEarth'' was re-released with bonus tracks. Rather than just have Jon Anderson's name, it was released under "Jon and Jane Anderson". ''In The City of Angels'' and ''Change We Must'' were also reprinted during this year.
Deborah Anderson sang on her father's solo album ''Song of Seven'', and more recently has sung for the French electronica band Télépopmusik on the album ''Angel Milk'' (released 2005); she also works as a photographer. Damion Anderson spoke the final lines in the Yes song "Circus of Heaven" which appeared on ''Tormato'', and is also a musician; he realise the EP ''Close To The Hype'' ("C2T Hype") in 1994 with his father (remixes). Jade Anderson's birth is celebrated in her father's song "Animation" on the album of the same name, and she sang back-up vocals on many of his later albums. She has released a solo album in Japan.
In March 2009, after 25 years of living in the United States, Jon announced in a statement via his Facebook page that he had become an American citizen. The statement made no mention as to whether he had retained or renounced his UK citizenship.
One of Anderson's passions is painting, and he uses his art as another channel for his creativity and self-expression. His artwork is available to view on his official website. He lived in France with Jennifer Baker at a farm in Saint-Paul de Vence for over five years from the very late 1970s, becoming friend of painters Marc Chagall and André Verdet, nearest neighbours (inspiring some of his songs and musical themes (see pressure of Highland 1999) (in 1990 he returned in France to record demos between ''Le Domaine de Miraval'' still in Provence at Le Val and Paris, this time with ABWH for the perspective of an hypothetical second album).
On 13 May 2008, Anderson suffered a severe asthma attack which required a stay in hospital. According to Yes' website, he was later "at home and resting comfortably." Yes' planned summer 2008 tour was subsequently cancelled, with the press release saying, "Jon Anderson was admitted to the hospital last month after suffering a severe asthma attack. He was diagnosed with acute respiratory failure and was told by doctors to rest and not work for a period of at least six months or suffer further health complications." In September 2008 Jon wrote that he's "so much better...so grateful and so blessed...I look forward to 2009 for the "Great Work" to come." In 2009 he returned to touring (solo) and continued touring in 2010, even with Rick Wakeman for an exclusive UK tour.
Anderson is a supporter of Accrington Stanley football club.
