Biography

A pupil at North Bromsgrove High School, Worcestershire, England, where one of her teachers was Clifford T. Ward. She went on to train at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and starred in various period BBC productions, including "Poldark" in 1977.

A friend of John Ritchie, after a phone call from Matthew Vaughn's godfather she became an executive producer of Guy Ritchie's films "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch". Along with Sting, she introduced Madonna to her second husband, Ritchie, and is godmother to the couple's son Rocco.

The couple own several homes worldwide, including Elizabethan manor house Lake House and its 60-acre country estate in Wiltshire, England, a country cottage in the Lake District, a New York City apartment, a beach house in Malibu, California, a convert|900|acre|km2|sing=on estate in Tuscany, Italy which produces organic honey and olive oil for Harrods, and two properties in London: an apartment on the Mall and an 18th century terrace house in Highgate.

In May 2007 the couple's management company, Lake House Estate, was found guilty by a tribunal jury of unlawfully dismissing Jane Martin a 41 year old former cook. [cite web|url=http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/legal/article2530834.ece|title=Sting's wife guilty of treating cook 'shamefully'|accessdate=2007-05-18] The judgment was particularly critical of Sumner (married name of Styler). It said: 'Although Mrs Sumner tried to distance herself from various unlawful acts and have them carried out by minions, when the evidence is looked at holistically, her involvement is clear. She is without doubt the driving force manipulating others to perform her dirty work'.
