Born 27 December 1905, he pixie like looks and extraordinary facial expressions made her a true favourite of many a British movie.
Without her appearances in many of the 'Carry On' films in the 1960s, her career would have probably been forgotten today. Arguably her most famous performance was as the lonely but happy spinster in Carry On Cruising (1962). The bar scene with Dilys Laye where both their characters get hideously drunk, is as legendary as the movie itself.
Her last movie was Carry On Cabby (1963) and she sadly died 18th October 1972.
With over 77 film and TV appearances, there are too many to list, but a brief summary of them include; Trouble Brewing (1939), Fanny By gaslight (1944), A Canterbury Tale (1944), Holiday Camp (1947) and the three other Huggetts films, as the Autograph Huntress (pictured with David Tomlinson) in Helter Skelter (1949), Noose for a Lady (1953), Sailor Beware (1956), I’m Alright Jack (1956), Over the Odds (1961) and the 1960’s TV series The Rag Trade.
