(Is it OK to change "actor" to "actress"? No sexism intended, of course. Also, Sally's very much a lady of Granadaland, so it's worth pointing out where in it she was born) |

Trivia
She can claim a number one single, too: at the age of seven, she was a member of the St Winifred's School Choir which had a Christmas chart-topper with "There's No One Quite Like Grandma", for which she was paid a 50p book token. Sorry for reminding you of that. Chart fans might like to know that Grandma was, in the period between 1971 and 1983 when chart compilers took a week off after Christmas, the only Christmas number one to not top the unpublished New Year chart, with John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" dipping out as a result. Somehow we can't see him complaining.
