## About Alison Reeves

Alison "Danielle" Reeves/Newell was an English actress. She appeared in various movies and television shows. She joined the Actor Community in 1991, but she started to appear in the movies and television shows in 1998. She was a music producer for The Talents from 1992 to 1998. In 1999, she dated a man called John Reeves, and she had three kids with him. They both got married in 2002.

She started off her life growing up in a town called Merstham in Surrey. She was born as Alison Newell. She finished primary school in 1984, finished secondary school in 1989 and finished college in 1991, which was the year she started to join the Actor Community. Although she never actually appeared physically in projects in Actor, she was a music producer for The Talents from September 1992 to March 1998. She left the role as Music Producer and moved on to become a good actress. Also in 1999, she met John Reeves whilst in a pub. This is similar to the scene in The Life Between Sam And Sarah where Sam met Sarah, which Alison decided to recreate that moment in the first episode of the show.

Her first ever role was in Garden Bugs where she played Dotty The Ladybug. She voiced her until the show ended in 2001. In 2000, she played Sarah Faming in the longest Actor Television show The Faming Family and also in The Life Between Sam And Sarah, and also played them in the later Bluebear and Doggy franchise and in the Kieron Faming film franchise aswell. In 2002, she got married to John Reeves, and they were together until Alison’s death. They had three kids together; Jonah Reeves, Lauren Reeves and Nicholas Reeves.

She appeared in other movies such as Adam McCar, The Plotagon Movie, Be Brave and Lying Behind The Bush.

In 2007, she was diagnosed with depression, which was very hard for her in life. Her husband John and her three kids helped her through her depression. At the same time, she continued to play Sarah Faming in the new show The Faming Family.

In 2021, she played her first villain role as Alyssa Conlan in the short animated television show The Tara Conlan Show. In an interview, Alison stated that it was fun to be the antagonist character, as she never had an experience to playing/voicing one yet.

In 2023, she returned to voice another character in the new reboot show Garden Bugs: This Is Our Land, playing Dorothy The Harlequin Beatle. She was the only original cast member to return to the reboot.

In September 2023, she suffered a stroke before the two final episodes of Series Eighteen in The Faming Family. A day later, her agent announced that she will die. She unfortunately died on the morning of Friday 29th September. Her funeral took place exactly five weeks later on Friday 3rd November. Her role for Garden Bugs: This Is Our Land is now being voiced by Loren Green.

She also wanted to be The Holiday Manager in The High School Boys, but after her death, the role was given to Alissa Gilbert-Grant.
