1985

Cornwell won a libel action against the Journalist Nina Myskow and The Sunday People in December 1985. A jury at the High Court awarded her £10,000 in damages after Myskow, in an article for the newspaper, had referred to Cornwell as unattractive, middle-aged and whose "bum is too big". The case went to appeal, and Cornwell ended up £70,000 out of pocket from legal costs. She taught at the University of Southern California School of Dramatic Arts from 2004 to 2012, and returned to resume her acting career in the UK in June 2012.
