BiographyClara Rachel Salaman (born 19 May 1967) is an English actress and author.
She is perhaps best known for playing the role of undercover CIB DS Claire Stanton in the long running ITV drama The Bill from 1999 to 2001. She first appeared on The Bill as a victim, Penny Thompson, on episode 6 of series 11 in 1995.
She has also appeared in several other television programmes, including A Touch of Frost, Kingdom, and Heartbeat.
She has written a play for the National Theatre.
Her first novel was Shame on You, and in a related piece recalled her own family upbringing as part of an unnamed religious cult in The Guardian in July 2009. The school has been named as one of the St James Independent Schools, following the precepts of the School of Philosophy and Economic Science. Her second novel, The Boat, appeared in 2014, based on her real experience aged 18 when Salaman and her fiancé hitched a ride on a yacht with couple who claimed to sexually abuse their young daughter. While criticisms were made of Salaman's failure to report the suspected abuse, Salaman provided her reasoning to The Guardian.
She has adapted her third novel, Too Close (published pseudonymously as Natalie Daniels), into a three-part television series of the same name.
