It’s 2 year since Jamaican-British actress Mona Hammond died at the age of 91. Born to a Chinese father and a Jamaican mother, she moved to the United Kingdom in her 20s on a scholarship. She worked for Norman and Dawbarn Architects before mastering acting at the City Literary Institute and later, at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). 

Hammond began acting as a voice actress in the mid-1960s before earning roles on TV and then on stage (theater). She is remembered for her work in EastEnders and Desmond’s on British television, and for paving the way for black actors in the UK.

Mona Hammond was born Mavis Chin in Tweesdie, Jamaica in January 1931 to a Chinese father and a Jamaican mother. As previously stated, she moved to the United Kingdom on a scholarship in her 20s, where she took acting lessons at the City Literary Institute and later won a two-year scholarship at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).

In the mid-1960s, she began her acting career with a role in Jack of Spades, a musical written by Beaton and Ken S. Hignett. From 1968 until 1989, she appeared on stage in various plays, including The Black Girl in Search of God, The Black Macbeth, and The Importance of Being Honest.

In 1986, she co-founded the Talawa Theatre Company with Yvonne Brewster, Carmen Munroe, and Inigo Espejel.

She made her TV debut in the 1990s with roles in The Sweeney (1976), Wolcott (1980-81), and Juliet Bravo (1985). She also played Blossom Jackson in the BBC soap opera EastEnders and Susu Tully in the British sitcom Desmond’s (1990-94).
