Sue is
a familiar face from 'Allo 'Allo in which she played the
cheeky role of Mimi. 'Allo 'Allo not only ran for a number of
years on the BBC, but is also seen in 72 countries. The hugely
successful stage show took Sue from England to New Zealand and
Australia, then on to the London Palladium for 6 months.
Sue has worked on classics such
as 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' 'A Midsummer Nights Dream' and
Bernard Shaw's 'Arms and the Man' for the New Shakespeare
Company, which consequently took her to Spain, Germany, Italy
and the Middle East.
Her diversity ranges from Henry
James, 'The Innocents' to 'The Rocky Horror Show' and Alan
Bennett's 'Talking Heads' to Joe Orton's 'A Day in the Death
of Joe Egg'. Her favourite musical appearance has been in
'Jesus Christ Superstar'. Whilst playing the Fortune,
Piccadilly and Westminster Theatres with Marigold in 'Toad of
Toad Hall' she captured the eye of Terry Gilliam for the film
'Brazil'. |
| She has
also made regular appearances on 'The Dick Emery Show' (BBC)
and the series 'Katy' (BBC) before she was 18.
During the last series of 'Allo
'Allo she took over the role of 'Suzette' in 'Don't Dress for
Dinner' at the Apollo and Duchess Theatres, taking time off
for 'Noel's House Party', 'The Royal Command Performance',
appearances for 'The Princes Trust' and 'The Duke of Edinburgh
Awards', 'Breakfast TV' 'Good Morning' and 'Children in Need'.
Sue first appeared in Pantomime
at the tender age of 15 in 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and has
continued to do pantomime every Christmas performing from boy
babe in 'Babes in the Wood' to ugly sister in 'Cinderella'
with Arthur Bostrom and 3 hugely successful seasons opposite
Bella Emberg with Bobby Davro.

Lincolnshire and is in the process of taking the 'Allo 'Allo
stage show to Scandinavia with all the original cast. |
