Harlan Coben’s Missing You: who is its star Rosalind Eleazar?
Share:
A New Year, a new Harlan Coben adaptation to binge on Netflix. Hooray!. And this one looks to be as gripping as ever: our hero is Kat Donovan, played by Rosalind Eleazar. She celebrated her engagement to Josh Buchanan 11 years ago, before he mysteriously vanished from her life. Now it looks like he’s back – as he pops up on her dating app. The only question is, why?.
And as Kat digs deeper, it looks like some unresolved trauma from her past – namely, the death of her father, the celebrated police officer Clint Donovan, who was killed years ago – might have to face the light of day, too. "When we first meet Kat, people might think of her as quite a strong person, but we see that getting chipped away,” Eleazar has told What to Watch. “She has a lot of anger and unanswered questions.”.
Eleazar is a British actor. Born in the UK to a Ghanaian father and British mother, her parents split up when she was young and she was raised in London by her mother. At 13, she won a scholarship to Gordonstoun – the school Prince Charles also attended in his youth.
“I know everyone thinks, ‘Oh God, boarding school is spartan,’” she told the Times, but she says she enjoyed it, going onto study Chinese and Spanish at Nottingham University so she could work at the UN. “I wanted to do something that, you know, might actually have helped,” she added. “Then I was, like, f*** it.”.
