    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Has been playing the 2nd version of "Christine" in the BBC Radio Soap "The Archers" since 1953, and is much in demand for other voice-over work. Ironically for such a strikingly attractive woman she has been heard rather than seen through much of her entire career!
