== Life ==
N'Deaye Ba was born on 10 August 1972 in the [Angered Neighborhood](/source/Angered_(locality)) of [Gothenburg, Sweden](/source/Gothenburg).
Her mother was from [Dalsland](/source/Dalsland) and her father was from [Senegal](/source/Senegal).[{{Cite news |last=Fjellman |first=Elin |date=2002-02-27 |title=Flytten till London vände karriären |url=https://www.sydsvenskan.se/artikel/flytten-till-london-vande-karriaren/ |access-date=2025-08-23 |work=[Sydsvenskan](/source/Sydsvenskan) |language=sv}}]
Her parents divorced when she was just a year old. She stayed in the care of her mother, with whom she developed a close relationship. As she grew, she developed a passion for entertaining others.
When Ba was eight years old, she and her mother moved to [Bavaria, Germany](/source/Bavaria) for a few years. They eventually moved back to Sweden, where Ba attended [compulsory school](/source/Compulsory_education). After graduating in 1991, Ba moved to [London](/source/London) and was accepted into [Webber Douglas Academy](/source/Webber_Douglas_Academy_of_Dramatic_Art) in 1993. She worked in restaurants and bars to perfect her English.
Her mother joined her in London in 1993.
In 1996, Ba graduated from the Webber Douglas Academy and she landed a role in a sitcom shortly after. In 1998, she moved to [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles) in an attempt to set herself up in [Hollywood](/source/Hollywood%2C_Los_Angeles). She was less successful there (she would say that the American dream only happens when you're asleep), and moved back to London in 2000 when her mother was diagnosed with [leukaemia](/source/Leukemia).
In 2001, she met Jonathan Clements, a director. They married in 2002, but separated in 2003 (at Ba's own insistence) when she began to experience complications from [lupus](/source/lupus).
She died from [kidney failure](/source/kidney_failure) and other complications of lupus
