Born in 1969 in Westminster,[citation needed] Pulman is the daughter of the actress Barbara Young and the screenwriter Jack Pulman. She has a sister, and when they were teenagers they sang together as "the Pulman Sisters", singing numbers from the Roaring Twenties through to the 1940s in the foyers of the Royal Festival Hall and the National Theatre. Pulman then trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama for six years and was taken on as a junior principal with the Glyndebourne Chorus.[1]
