She entered the entertainment industry by winning Thai Supermodel Contest 2007 and has worked in various TV dramas, movies and modeling works (commercials, photo shoots, runway walks) ever since. Her notable works are Nang Baeb Koke Gradone, Pleng Ruk Pha Puen Taek, Lueam Salab Lai, Fai Ruk Game Rohn, Ratchawanee Tee Ruk and Lhong Ngao Jun.
Early life and education Sammy Cowell was born to a British father, Samuel Derek Cowell, and a Thai mother, Pityanit. She has a half sister. She graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration majoring in Human Resource Management from Ramkhamhaeng University.
The origin of the nickname Sammy comes from the word Sam, her father's name. Her older sister then added the word Mi to the end of the name until it became Sammy and has used this name in the entertainment industry.
Career
Sammy began her career as a model in an ice cream commercial and later participated in the 2007 Thailand Supermodel Contest. She won the title at only 16 years old. Sammy was subsequently signed with Channel 7 Thailand. Her first drama was the sitcom "KuKik Prik Gub Gleur" and her first feature-length drama was "Suparb Burut Satan". As a rising star of that era, “Sammy” wasn’t posed to be a “heroine” or a “villain”, so her work was quite varied. Good and bad roles were intertwined, including Pob Pee Fah, Nang Greed, Tawan Yor Saeng, Sawan Saang, Bundai Dok Ruk and Lui. But the work that made her performance stand out was “Nang Baeb Koke Gradone” which made the highest ratings for 5 weeks in a row. In addition to acting as a villain, she switched between evening drama and post-news drama.
After 2014 with her proven acting potential over the years, Sammy stepped up to be the front lead actress of Channel 7 and was placed in big drama projects, making her a “drama goddess”. Her works at this time are countless. From Lueam Salab Lai, Fai Ruk Game Rohn, Ratchawanee Tee Ruk, Wilok Lhong Lom, Sanaeha Maya, Lhong Ngao Jun, Suparburoot Chao Din, Talay Luang and Plerng Prissana. Throughout her time as a Channel 7 exclusive actress, she had almost all the leading actors and acted in all drama genres. At the end of 2020, when her contract with Channel 7 ended, Sammy chose the path of becoming an independent actress and not affiliated to any channel.
