Noted actress, whose illustrious career was marked by a trajectory of remarkable milestones, initially stepped away from the public eye upon exchanging vows with the celebrated George Cole in the year 1966.
Prior to her marriage, however, this talented thespian had already embarked upon her journey as a performer, with the birth of her son, Toby, in the year 1941, serving as a poignant reminder of her commitment to her craft.
Fast-forward to the late 1960s, and the arrival of her daughter, Tara, in 1969, would further cement her status as a devoted mother and artist, as she continued to navigate the complex demands of her dual roles with unwavering dedication and aplomb.
As her professional journey continued to unfold, a profound transformation took place, as she discovered a renewed sense of purpose and drive when she landed the captivating role of a dragon landlady with a distinctive flair for the charming and endearing character of Arfur in the highly acclaimed television series, Minder.
Since the inception of Mrs. Cole's Music Hall in 1979, she has devoted herself to the production, not only performing a starring role but also taking on the multifaceted responsibilities of producer, bringing her vision to life at The Mill at Sonning in Berkshire every Christmas season.
