Okonedo was born on 11 August, 1968 in London, the daughter of Joan (n\u00e9e Allman), a Jewish pilates teacher who was born in the East End of London, and Henry Okonedo (1939\u20132009), a British Nigerian who worked for the government. Okonedo’s maternal grandparents, who spoke Yiddish, were from families that had emigrated from Poland and Russia. Okonedo was raised in her mother’s Jewish faith. When she was five years old, her father left the family, and she was brought up in relative poverty by her single mother (“but we always had books”, she has said).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
