The Telegraph reported in 2018 that she is unmarried and doesn’t have any children.
She told the newspaper that people today are realising that older women are no longer “confined to the home”.
I think there is a shift and I think people are starting to realise that women… are active and lead interesting lives.
Deborah said: “I can only speak personally, but I think there is a shift and I think people are starting to realise that women are interesting… that they are active and lead interesting lives.
“Older women are not confined to the home anymore, they do have a place in business and professions and whatever, and it is great that that is being shown on TV and in plays.”
Speaking about her life, she reflected on her time as a teacher. Deborah admitted she found it tough, calling it a “hard profession”.
Deborah told the newspaper: “I was never cut out for [teaching] – it is such a hard profession. It’s not like acting, you are responsible for 30 people’s day and their inspiration.”
