Patsy Palmer joins model daughter Emilia, 16, on the red carpet at National Film Awards in London
She relocated to Los Angeles in order for her family to fulfill their dreams of breaking Hollywood.
Yet Patsy Palmer was back in her hometown of London on Wednesday as she attended the National Film Awards with her daughter Emilia, 16.
The former EastEnders star, 45, was a vision of beauty as she hit the red carpet with her daughter after getting ready at the Devonshire Club together.

Bringing some Hollywood glamour to the event, Patsy dazzled in a cobalt midi dress with sheer panels across the decotellage and hemline.
Ensuring she remained demure, the radiant redhead also donned a pair of sheer tights, whilst she boosted her frame with a pair of cork heeled black sandals.
Meanwhile, Emilia donned a stylish black maxi dress with a sheer polka dot overlay and floral embroidery as she joined her mother at the bash.

Patsy and her cab driver husband Richard Merkell moved across the pond to start a new life in Malibu, California, four years ago.
The pair share son Fenton, 16, and daughter Emilia, 15, who are finding their feet on the catwalk as models, as well as son Bertie, seven.
Patsy also has son Charley Palmer Rothwell, 25 - is a successful actor who has appeared in big-screen hits including Dunkirk and Darkest Hour, from a previous relationship.

Speaking about her new life in April, Patsy told Loose Women: 'We just decided that we wanted to go. We said we either go now or we don't go. My kids are big tennis players and I wanted the outdoor life for them.
'We were nearly in Sydney ten years ago. I did a film there and I really wanted to stay there but we came back. My kids are really happy. It is a really beautiful life.'
Patsy now works as a DJ in LA, and confessed she enjoys the quieter lifestyle, as few people recognise her from the famous BBC soap in the US.

She said on ITV's Lorraine last year: 'It was a little bit strange getting used to the idea you're not 'on show' everywhere you walk about, you don't have to be ready to speak to someone about Eastenders.
'You can go out and just completely be yourself, it's kind of weird, it is something you probably need therapy for, though I haven't gone down that route since I've been here but everyone does.'
She added that she doesn't miss crave a return to acting herself, saying: 'No I don’t actually miss it. I’m not going to lie. I don’t miss acting one bit.'
La la lovely! The pair both paid homage to old Hollywood glamour by styling their glossy tresses in loose waves that framed her faces
She also said it's unlikely she would ever crack out that silver padded jacket and return to EastEnders - however, she did not rule it out completely.
She said: 'I don’t know. To be honest, I’d say never say never about anything. It was a big mistake if you say things like that but to be honest, I’m nearly 45.
'There’s so much that you don’t do when you’re in Elstree for 20 years on and off.'
