Enders junkie has a crack at the movies

Tanya, who played crack addict Rainie Cross in the soap, left Albert Square for the bright lights of Los Angeles.

And after dying her red hair blonde, she got her big break.

Starring alongside Lindsay Lohan and True Blood’s Grant Bowler, Tanya plays Richard Burton’s jilted wife in upcoming blockbuster Liz Dick.

And Tanya has already won praise from the movie’s director for her “emotionally charged” performance in the biopic as Burton’s first wife, Sybil.

The couple divorced in 1963 after Burton fell for his glamorous co-star Taylor on the set of epic movie Cleopatra.

Tanya previously confessed to TV Biz that, despite playing boozy Rainie, she was in fact a teetotal.

She said: “It’s fun playing Rainie drunk but I don’t drink â€" so there’s no chance of me having any before filming to help me out.”
