  • Trivia
    In the 1950s she was "the Rowntree's Chocolate Girl" (her description), featuring on many television, magazine and poster adverts for Rowntree's chocolates. At the time she did not know that her grandfather, whom she never met or even knew about, had worked for Rowntree's in York.
  • Quotes
    There's nothing more unattractive than a man who thinks he is attractive. I think the fact that Benedict [Benedict Cumberbatch] doesn't think he's attractive is so attractive to women.
