Antonia Thomas

Who is Tuppence Cowley? 

An actress who’s found middling success in America, Tuppence is in the middle of a life crisis when we meet her — working a catering gig at a wedding and contemplating the future of her marriage to Hollywood producer Julius Vandermyer (Nicholas Richardson). Tuppence is at a crossroads in her life, and reconnecting with university love, Tommy, jolts her onto a new path with detective work giving her a fresh purpose. She’s impulsive, gutsy, and acts before she thinks, which includes putting her acting skills to use as she dons various disguises and puts on accents to gather information from suspects. Thomas describes her character as “sassy and forthright”.
