She grew up in Dublin and developed an early interest in the performing arts before beginning her professional career on the stage.

Bradley later attended University College Dublin, where she completed her studies before moving further into theatre and professional acting.

Her UCD education laid the foundation for a career that eventually took her from Irish theatre to television, film, and music.

Bradley later moved to Newfoundland, Canada, with her husband and their young daughter Ruth. While living there during the 1980s, she shifted much of her attention toward music and established herself as a singer, performing at folk festivals and other musical events. She eventually returned to Ireland in the 1990s and resumed her acting career.

Her daughter Ruth Bradley later became a successful actress herself, while her other children, Róisín Murphy and Ferdia Bradley, also entered the entertainment industry.

Bradley and her family eventually returned to Ireland, where she continued developing her acting career.

Her marriage ended with Bernard Bradley’s death in a road accident in 1997, leaving her widowed. She has since kept her personal life relatively private and has not been publicly linked to another marriage or long-term relationship.

The Irish Film & Television Academy later described her as an accomplished singer who had performed both solo and with Tickle Harbour.

After returning to Ireland, Bradley made her television debut in 1994 with the drama series Family. She later appeared in The Van, Father Ted, Fair City, and Smilla’s Sense of Snow.

In 1998, she joined Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog as Queen Maeve, adding an international children’s fantasy production to her growing list of screen credits.

Her film career continued with About Adam in 2000, followed by appearances in Cáca Milis, Random Passage, The Boys from County Clare, and Veronica Guerin.
