Her great-uncle was noted thespian and theatre manager Sir Gerald du Maurier, making her a cousin of famed writer Daphne du Maurier. Her brother, Christopher Toyne is also an actor and director.

In the same year, she traveled to Los Angeles to meet US television producer Aaron Spelling who was looking for female directors, being pressured by the industry to employ more women in this capacity.

This way followed by a two-decade career in television directing in Hollywood.
