Personal life
Waterman's father was in the British Army. Her grandfather flew Spitfires during World War II.[2] Her mother taught children with learning disabilities.[2]
Waterman attended boarding school at Millfield, in Somerset, England. Waterman focused on athletics, but a back injury curtailed a promising career as a high jumper.[2] Switching to a more academic course of study, she entered Oxford University in 1982, where she read Geography at Christ Church.[2] After graduating in 1985, she began modelling as a way to see the world, and was eventually brought to Los Angeles by the prestigious Elite Agency.[5][2]
Her first roles were bit parts in Side Out and Die Hard 2, playing a stewardess in both films. Her first film in a lead role was 1991's Lena's Holiday, in which she played an East German tourist in Los Angeles who gets caught up in a murder plot.
She currently resides in California, USA.
