Rebecca Swing
A brunette Marilyn Monroe meets the physical embodiment of Betty Boop. This description of singer and actress Rebecca Grant is the epitome of your 1940s-1950s songstress. A smooth concoction of warm sultry vocals with a range of sassy and powerful songs with such a command and presence on stage. You might even recognise her off the box from BAFTA award winning BBC's Holby City and 'Midsomer Murders'. Visit www.rebeccagrant.co.uk her official actor's website for more info.
