Beryl Bainbridge

[Caran]

In Corrie I don't remember her in the earlier years.

[Jackdaw33]

She only appeared in one episode in 1961.

From Wiki...

//Bainbridge spent her early years working as an actress, and she appeared in one 1961 episode of the soap opera Coronation Street playing an anti-nuclear protester.\\

[Caran]

I dont remember her being in it at all.

[Jackdaw33]

As I said, only one episode playing a bit part 54 years ago, I'm not surprised you don't remember, neither do I

One of Beryl's obituaries read: "Beryl Bainbridge is the only Booker-shortlisted author to have played Ken Barlow's girlfriend in Coronation Street. It has to be said, there is nothing like a dame."

Don't remember her either thought that might have mentioned in Corrie folklore!

I once had to tell a large group of teenagers who Ben Kingsley is, no success with his films, even though they'd all seen at least parts of Gandhi, but eventually a throwaway remark that he'd been in Corrie gripped their attention. So much for Oscars and Booker prizes, get yourself in Corrie if you want real fame!
