Toni Palmer:
The epitome of the familiar-unknown actress,
having played dozens of variations on the chirpy working class
housewife, busybody and woman-in-the-street. Originally a dancer, she
first came into the public eye in TV's 'The Rag Trade' in the early
'60s, and had a long run in the dismal motel soap ...'Crossroads'.
Other roles in TV included 'Russ Abbott's Madhouse', 'Minder', 'The
Sweeney', 'The Bill', and 'Within These Walls', and period pieces like
'The Duchess Of Duke Street' and 'Foyle's War'.

Her film career
highlights stretch from 'Personal Services', 'The French Lieutenant's
Woman' and 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson End', to our old favourite 'Smashing
Time'. Oooh, get her!
