Night and Stockard Channing co-starred as Jessie and Thelma in Marsha Norman's Pulitzer-Prize-winning play 'night, Mother at Hampstead Theatre.

Early life and education
Rebecca Night was born in Poole, Dorset. She attended Yarrells Preparatory School in Upton, Dorset where she took part in the annual musical productions, and later Parkstone Grammar School in Poole as well as Brownsea Open Air Theatre.
Night is a former member of the National Youth Theatre, where she appeared as Hero in Much Ado About Nothing and in Master & Margarita at the Lyric Hammersmith. She later trained at Rose Bruford College.
Career
Night came to prominence playing the title role in Andrew Davies' BBC production of Fanny Hill.
Nancy Banks-Smith in The Guardian wrote, "Her freshness disinfects her story. It is a delightful debut."
She has since played a wide range of roles including Catherine Linton in ITV's Wuthering Heights, alongside Tom Hardy, Sarah Jones in the Mike Figgis film Suspension of Disbelief and Yvonne Moncin in Maigret, with Rowan Atkinson.
Theatre roles include Jessie in Marsha Norman’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning 'night, Mother alongside Stockard Channing as Thelma at the Hampstead Theatre, Queen Elizabeth in Oscar-winner David Seidler’s North American premiere of The King's Speech, Cecily Cardew in Peter Gill's The Importance of Being Earnest in London's West End and Rose of Sharon in Chichester Festival Theatre's Grapes of Wrath. She also created the role of Jack Cardiff’s carer Lucy alongside Tony-winner Robert Lindsay in Terry Johnson's Prism. Within the play, she transforms into both "a lustrous" (The Independent) Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall.
Personal life
She is married to fellow actor Harry Hadden-Paton, whom she met while performing The Importance of Being Earnest. They have been married since 2010 and have three children together.
