Although she played in other films and TV shows, in Germany and Scandinavia she is best known for her role as Miss Sophie in the comedy sketch Dinner for One, along with Freddie Frinton in a 1963 recording.

She married comedian Silvester Stewart (d. 1973) in 1915, and gave birth to two sons and two daughters, two of whom also went onto act on the stage. She had non-speaking roles in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange and as an aged Sara Kingdom in the Doctor Who serial The Daleks' Master Plan. Her last major role was as Billy's outspoken grandmother in the TV series Billy Liar (1973). She lived in London until her death.[1]
