Celebrating television's This Is Your Life
Lesley JOSEPH (1946-)
THIS IS YOUR LIFE - Lesley Joseph, actress, was surprised by Michael Aspel during the curtain call of the pantomime Dick Whittington at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton, from where the programme was then recorded.
Lesley, who was born in London but grew up in Northampton, trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. She worked predominantly in theatre throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including a year-long tour of the musical Godspell and playing the lead role in Piaf.
On television, she had small roles in ITV's drama series Minder and the television min-series Jesus of Nazareth, before being cast in the BBC sitcom Birds of a Feather, as Dorien Green - a role that made her a household name.
