Personal Life
Manning was born with Myopia, commonly known as nearsighted or shortsighted, which caused numerous injuries during the filming of Doctor Who. She has stated, "Once I tried to take the wrong children home from school!"
Manning has twins (a son Jonathan and a daughter Georgina) born in 1979, with partner Dean Harris. She was previously briefly married (for just two months) to Raynor Burton. The children were born premature and suffered health issues, which caused her to move to Australia where she met her long term partner, Barry Crocker. The relationship ended with Manning returning to the UK in 2010.
Manning moved to Australia and was also seen in a famous Ruby Wax television segment here on YouTube with childhood friend Liza Minnelli.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Oh, what a catastrophe for man when he cut himself off from the rhythm of the year, from his unison with the sun and the earth. Oh, what a catastrophe, what a maiming of love when it was a personal, merely personal feeling, taken away from the rising and the setting of the sun, and cut off from the magic connection of the solstice and the equinox!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It had been drilled into us that when an audience pays to see a performance, it is entitled to the best performance you can give. Nothing in your personal life must interfere, neither fatigue, illness, nor anxietynot even joy.”
—Lillian Gish (18961993)
