'I'll never have plastic surgery,' vows Brit star Jaime Murray as she sets out to conquer Hollywood

15 July 2008
British actress Jaime Murray is determined to remain true to her roots as she carves out a career in Hollywood.
The 31-year-old landed a lead role in the second series of serial killer drama Dexter last year and is now based full-time in Los Angeles.
But the headstrong star is adamant she'll never join the swelling ranks of young American actresses who go under the knife.
Rising star: Jaime is currently appearing in smash hit U.S. TV show Dexter
Jaime said: 'Oh no! I think that as an actor you should retain your individuality, so I don't think it's a good look.
'I'm happy with who I am,' she added.
Jaime is currently romantically attached Stateside but refuses to reveal her boyfriend's identity.
Like father, like daughter: Jaime has followed in the footsteps of her actor dad Billy Murray
She made her name starring in BBC1's successful con artist drama Hustle before deciding to try her luck in Tinseltown - something her famous father Billy Murray, best known for his roles in The Bill and EastEnders, never did.
Jaime said: 'I know that America would have loved him, but he had to stay in the UK because he had a family and work commitments.
'I never want to get to the point where I look back and think, "If only I'd done that." I'm so far out of my comfort zone at the moment that I could get a nosebleed at any time!'
The actress landed a role in the second season of the hit US series Dexter- a show about a forensic expert who turns into a serial killer, but only kills bad guys.
Steamy: Jamie plays wild seductress Lila in the US series Dexter
Jaime plays wild and unconventional Lila, an ex drug addict who ends up seducing Dexter (Jeff Lindsay) after becoming his sponsor at narcotics anonymous.
She said: 'Lila's very kooky. She's the complete polar opposite of Dexter and that's where a lot of drama comes from. He's repressed and slightly emotionally autistic, but Lila doesn't have any boundaries and she manages to get more intimacy and authenticity from Dexter.'
It is not yet known whether the British beauty will appear in the third series of the show but she is rumoured to be top choice to play Wonder Woman.
