Early Life
Coleman was the first of two daughters born to actress Ann Beach and television producer Francis Coleman. Her younger sister is the actress Lisa Coleman. She attended the Anna Scher Theatre School in Islington, North London, because she said she was "too cool" to go to the Brownies.
At 15, feeling that her upbringing had been too liberal – her parents "didn't believe in restraint" – Coleman enrolled at Dartington Hall School in Devon. It was a very progressive school where pupils "didn't have to go to any lessons, so I didn't. I spent 15 grand – all my money – and it was just stupid really." After this, she attended cookery school.
