Samantha Barks is a Manx actress and singer. She played Éponine in the film musical Les Misérables. She has also been credited as Sam Barks.
Samantha is the daughter of Ann and Richard Barks. The Manx are a mostly Celtic ethnic group originating around the Isle of Man, in the Irish Sea. Samantha’s mother appears to be non-white/mixed race.
