Yasmin Paige



Yasmin Paige (born June 1991) played Maria Jackson during the first series of The Sarah Jane Adventures. She left the series as a regular at the start of series 2, but cameoed later that same series.

Prior to Sarah Jane, Paige had perhaps received her greatest exposure from co-starring with Emma Watson and Marc Warren in the 2007, produced by Piers Wenger. The TV adaptation of a popular book of the same name was broadcast in many English-speaking countries, and even received a limited theatrical release in the United States. However, she was already known to regular viewers of the CBBC prior to Sarah Jane, thanks to her two-year stint on the Saturday morning hourly, The Mysti Show. She had also appeared, in 2004, alongside Peter Davison in The Last Detective. Her first role was in multi-award-winning 2003 film, Wondrous Oblivion.

Following her departure from Sarah Jane, she was a regular in the 2009 serial, Murderland, directed by Catherine Morshead, and was one of the stars of the 2010 film, Submarine.
