Audrey Reid (born January 16, 1970) is an Jamaican film actress, best known for appearing in "Dancehall Queen" as Marcia.

Biography

Reid was born in the East Kingston ghetto area of Franklin Town, Jamaica. When she was ten years old, she and her family moved to the almost equally-rough district of Vineyard Town, Jamaica. Reid attended the Vauxhall Comprehensive High, and left high school when she became pregnant with her oldest daughter in the tenth grade. Determined to turn adversity to advantage, Reid almost immediately became a member of the Jamaican School of Drama’s evening course, landing a part in the National Pantomime. The renowned Jamaican actor Ed Bim Lewis then gave her a role in "Obeah Wedding". “That’s when I knew what I wanted to do,” says Reid. More plays followed: "Village Rooster," "Con Man," and "Some Like It Hot". Her career soared ahead when she joined the theatrical troupe Oliver Samuels and Friends, with whom she toured the Caribbean. In the USA and UK, meanwhile, Reid played in a variety of productions, including "Boy Blue," "Full House," "Boops," "Scandal" and "Irie Neighbor". She also starred in Oliver Samuels’ Jamaican television series "Oliver at Large".
