Caroline Catz was born on October 19, 1969 in Manchester, England. Caroline is an actress that is most famous for her portrayal of Louisa Glasson in the show, Doc Martin.
Personal Life
Caroline is Jewish by birth. When she was asked about her parents, she would glow about how supportive they were about her acting career. She also has a younger brother in her family.
She married a fellow actor named Michael Higgs who starred with her in the movie, The Bill. They met each other for the first time on the set of the movie. Throughout the filming of the movie, they started to develop a close relationship with each other. After the movie wrapped up, they kept the connection that they had established and moved their relationship to another level.
They got married in 2007 after a decade of dating each other but they did not announce their engagement. Their wedding was a private ceremony. They didn’t announce their engagement because they wanted to keep their union private. They only wanted their close circle to know that about their marriage.
They had children before they got married which drew some criticism from people. The negative feedback was mostly from religious people. Religious people feel that you are not supposed to have children before you get married. The couple ignored the feedback because they don’t think people should judge them for their actions. They have practical reasons for not getting married yet even after having kids. They had busy schedules as actors so getting married was not a top priority for them. They knew that they would eventually get married so they were not in a rush. Caroline once remarked about how hard it is to balance her home life with her career. She did not need the responsibility of marriage until she was completely ready for it.
The negative attention is a big reason why they choose to protect their children from the media. Her son is 16 years old and her daughter is 11 years old. When they were young, she used to bring her kids on film sets so they could see what their mommy did for work.
They family lives together in their beautiful house in North London.
Growing Up In The Ripper’s Playground
Caroline was born and raised close to the hunting grounds of Jack the Ripper in Yorkshire. She grew up hearing to a lot of Jack the Ripper stories. Jack the Ripper was a serial killer that would hunt prostitutes to murder. He would specifically target prostitutes because he knew that they most likely didn’t have family or close friends. He felt that no one would look for them which would keep the police off his trail. He also felt that he was doing society a favor by wiping out the filth from the world. There was speculation that he was actually a medical doctor that became medically deranged. The rumor came from the fact that the cuts and incisions on the victims’ bodies were almost too perfect. An average person would have not been able to make the cuts. It was the work of a highly trained professional.

Even though Caroline was spending her childhood near the places where the murders and abductions happened, she was not scared. She didn’t believe in ghosts and didn’t expect Jack the Ripper to come out and kidnap her. She just brushed it off as a scary tale that adults would tell kids to scare them.
Acting Career
When she was a child, Caroline went to watch a Cinderella play. A character named Buttons asked for a volunteer from the crowd. Caroline was picked and she still remembers how fascinating it was to get on the stage. That was when she decided to pursue acting to her career. She got an adrenaline rush when she was on stage and performing for the crowd. The crowd adored her and Caroline loved the attention that was getting from a group of strangers.
Caroline started acting professionally in the 90s. She took on small roles and got her first TV movie role in a film called The Guilty in 1992. In 1994, she took on a major role in a film called All Quiet on the Preston Front. It was a big deal for Caroline because it was produced by BBC.
Caroline was actually born Caroline Caplan but she had to change her name when she decided to become an actress. When she went to register her real name with the acting agency Equity, she found out that thee was already an actress with her real name. She decided to adopt the stage last name Catz. It was a unique last name that she hoped would help her land roles.
Since 2004, she has been featured in the popular TV show Doc Martin as the headmistress of the primary school. Doc Martin is a British television medical comedy drama series that stars Martin Clunes in the title role.
Even though her main job is Doc Martin, she takes many roles in films like Denial of Murder, Hotel Babylon, and Single Handed and many others.
In 2009, she stared in Déjà vu of BBC Radio 4. It was a unique experience for Caroline because she was acting on radio. In the old days, actors had to act on radio before there was television. Even though it isn’t as popular in modern times, it was still considered a major talent back then. There was a famous moment when the director of Citizen Kane got on the radio and pretended that aliens were attacking. His speech was so realistic that people started going crazy and believed that aliens were actually attacking. Caroline got a taste of how she could expand her acting abilities by just acting for a listening audience.
In 2014, she got behind the camera and directed a documentary called A Message to the World.
She also played parts in many stage productions. She was able to relive her childhood Cinderella moment when she got on stage as a professional actor.
