Sharon Small (born 1967, Glasgow) is a Scottish actress best known for her role as Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers in the British television series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries and as Carol Simpson in the British television series Sunburn. She is the oldest of five children. Her most well-known role may have been that of Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers in the BBC television adaptation of the Inspector Lynley Mysteries by Elizabeth George. Ironically Elizabeth George initially thought Sharon was too pretty to portray Sgt. Barabara Havers, but changed her mind after seeing how well Sharon played the character.[1] In addition to acting, Sharon Small is also a skilled soprano singer and recorder player.[2]
