An actress who starred in the Bob Hoskins movie Mona Lisa has been locked in a bitter three-year feud with a neighbour over a garden fence.
Former actress Zoë Nathenson, 48, and her partner Ryan Wheeler, 55, were involved in the dispute with neighbour Christopher Dean, 51, about the partition at the back of their property in St James’ Lane, Muswell Hill.
Highbury magistrates’ court heard that police were forced to issue warnings before Wheeler and Dean were both charged with criminal offences.

Dean, an IT sales executive, and Wheeler were both ultimately cleared but received five-year restraining orders.
Prosecutor Sara Khan said: ‘It all started off over the moving of a new fence. There have been phone calls to the police. Both parties have been given warnings by the police. The tension between all parties remains quite high,’ according to the Evening Standard.

Nathenson starred in the movie Mona Lisa in 1986 when she was just 17.
She played the role of Jeannie, the daughter of gangster George played by Hoskins.
She now runs a talent school called the Zoë Nathenson Agency.
