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.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 10:39.
