Gwendolyn Watts

Gwendolyn Watts

Gwendolyn Watts was born in 1932 in Somerset.   She appeared in many of the more popular British shows of the 1960’s including “The Rag Trade”, “Softly,Softly”, “The Avengers” and “Steptoe and Son”.   Her film appearances include “Sons and Lovers” in 1960 and “Fanatic” in 1965.   She had a wonderful part as one onf Tom Courntey;s girlfriends in “Billy Liar”.   In the early 70’s she concentrated on raising her family  and resumed acting some years later.   She died at the age og 67 in 2000.   Her film credits stated two appearances which seem odd to me.   An appearance in “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” on TV in 1958 and the film “My Fair Lady” in 1963.   Both these productions were made in Hollywood and it seems unusual to have intermittant U.S. appearances at that time in a British actresse’s CV.
