Leah Bracknell

Leah Bracknell (born Alison Rosalind Bracknell; 12th July 1964 in Westminster, London, died 15th September 2019 in Worthing, West Sussex) was an English actress who portrayed Zoe Tate in Emmerdale from December 1989 to September 2005.
After leaving Emmerdale, Bracknell appeared in Judge John Deed, Casualty 1907 and Doctors and even had a regular role as Matron Jenny Carrington in The Royal Today.
Bracknell announced in October 2016 that she was battling terminal lung cancer, and set up a crowdfunding page online to help her get treatment for her condition in Germany in order to prolong her life. The target - £50,000 - was well and truly smashed within a short time of the page being set up.
On 16th October 2019, it was announced that Bracknell had passed away from cancer the previous month at the age of 55.
