Elissa Derwent
What became of Elissa Derwent? An attractive bit-part actress of the early '70s, who turns up in a few BBC comedies like 'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads', 'The Liver Birds', 'Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em' and 'Open All Hours' (pictured above, looking a bit like Jenny Agutter and making Granville fall off his bike), her last documented TV appearance was in a small role in 'Forgive Our Foolish Ways' a 1980 BBC drama about a girl who falls for a German POW in at the end of the war.

"What became of Elissa Derwent?" Well, judging from the duration of her career and probable age I imagine she went off to have children and never came back. There aren't many parts for women over a certain age who have been out of the market for a while. Thats the usual story.
ReplyDeleteI've just seen her in Season 1 episode 3 of Billy Liar (1973) in the role of Betty.
