Biography

Sue Bond, born in Aylesbury on 9 May 1945, is a blonde British actress and singer best remembered for her appearances on Benny Hill's show in the early 1970s.

Her first film appearances were in the 8mm glamour/girlie films of George Harrison Marks in the late 1960s. These early softcore films included the bizarre "Hot Teddy" in which Sue has sex with a large cuddly teddy bear, and "First You See It", in which Sue is a naked fantasy woman who appears and disappears in the hero's bathroom, bedroom, dining room, etc., while "Coitus - An Experience in Motion and Emotion", adopts a pseudo-sex-education approach in showing Sue and a male partner indulging in a variety of sexual positions, all of which are inter-cut with title cards offering advice to 'young married couples'. The 8mm films led to a role in Marks' feature film The Nine Ages of Nakedness (1969) and other sex film roles, including The Yes Girls (1971) (her only lead role) and Tales of the Bizarre (1970). She was also an extra in Anne of the Thousand Days (1969) and has a 'blink and you'll miss her' appearance in Lindsay Shonteff's film Harry and the Hookers (1970) - billed as 'Suzy Bond' - as a woman who appears to have gone shopping in her underwear. Sue appeared in The Benny Hill Show (1969) for three years between 1970 and 1973, making her one of the longest-serving female cast members of the pre-Hill's Angels era.

In the mid-seventies Sue began to get offered more character roles in sitcoms. She claimed to Titbits magazine in 1975 that her ambitions at the time were to be a Bond girl in a James Bond film and appear in Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters. Neither transpired, although in the same year she did appear in a Bradford theatre production of Jack and the Beanstalk alongside Charlie Drake.

Alongside her acting Sue also had a second career as a singer, mainly on the club circuit of northern England. Her last acting credit was in the short-lived revival of Mind Your Language (1977) in 1986, although she was still performing as a singer on the cabaret circuit in the early 1990s.
