Amanda Burton (born 10 October 1956) is an award-winning actress from Northern Ireland. Burton is best known for her high-profile television roles as Karen Fisher in Waterloo Road (BBC), Sam Ryan in the BBC crime drama series Silent Witness, Clare Blake in The Commander, Beth Glover in Peak Practice, and Heather Black in the Channel 4 soap opera Brookside.

Burton was born in Derry, Northern Ireland. She is the youngest of four girls. Her father was a primary school headmaster. After attending the Londonderry High School (now part of Foyle and Londonderry College) she moved to England at 18 where she spent three years studying drama at the Manchester Metropolitan School of Theatre. Whilst there she met theatre technician Jonathan Hartley, whom she married when she was 20.

Although best known for her television roles, Burton had worked almost exclusively in the theatre prior to landing the role of Heather Black in Channel 4's Liverpool-based flagship drama series Brookside. After nearly four years in the role, during which time Heather had become one of the show's most-popular residents of Brookside Close, she began to lose sympathy with her character and decided to leave. Following her departure her television work consisted mainly of guest appearances, with parts in a number of peak-time drama series including Minder, Inspector Morse, Boon, Medics, Van Der Valk, Stay Lucky, and Lovejoy.

Jacqueline Gold (born 16 July 1960) is a British business woman, and is currently Chief Executive of the Gold Group International companies Ann Summers and Knickerbox. She is the 16th richest woman in Britain.

Gold was born on 16 July 1960, the daughter of Beryl Hunt and businessman David Gold. Her father ran a publishing business which was responsible for bringing sex magazines to the high street. David wept when Jacqueline was born to his first wife, because he wanted a son. She grew up in a large house on three levels with a large garden and a swimming pool in Biggin Hill, Kent. In August 2007 she was the main participant of the second episode of the BBC Radio 4 series, The House I Grew Up In, in which she described an unhappy childhood. Her parents separated when she was twelve years old.

After school Jacqueline began working at Royal Doulton, but decided she did not want to go into management, and asked her father to gain extra work experience. Having acquired the four stores of the "Ann Summers" chain in 1972, her father gave Jacqueline, at the age of nineteen, summer work experience in May 1979 - Jacqueline was paid £45 a week, less than the tea lady.
