Anita Harris

[Brief Encounter]

A lovely lady. I met her a few days ago at the stage door after seeing her in 'Stepping Out', in which she gave a great performance. It was the same a few years ago when I saw her in 'Strangers on a Train'. The nicest star you could meet!

[dvdman]

i would love to see that show she did again from the 70s called Jumbleland

I've always been a huge Anita fan too. London Life was a great single and The Playground is simply brilliant. Tuppenny Bus Ride is one of those songs that instantly take me back to my childhood in the 70's.

She even got a mention in Ashes to Ashes last week.

Theo, you are so right. 20 years ago I was a receptionist for Ernst and Young, the accountants. They handled her finances, and she was a regular visitor, along with her husband and manager, Mike Margolis. When leaving she would always thank me for arranging that they had refreshments in their meeting room, and kiss me goodbye. I still have the personally signed Christmas card that she sent me, a really lovely lady who should have been a big, big star.

Does anyone remember her in The David Nixon Show when she appeared in the series as David's lovely assistant.

[Freddy]

She seems to have had hard times lately, let's hope that's all behind her. As you say, A lovely lady.

Yes I remember that one. Great showman David Nixon and Anita as lovely as ever

yes she had lovely long hair in those days, IIRC a cracking little kid's show with ambitions way beyond its 'British' budget (as it seemed with just about everything in those days)

underestimated singer as well Just loving you and London lifeforgotten classics.

I was delighted to see Anita looking happy again on This Morning recently, following her well-documented troubles. Along with Lorraine Chase and Anne Charleston, she was promoting a stage play they've been appearing in called Five Blue Haired Ladies Sitting on a Green Park Bench (not one I'll be adding to the 'Pleasing Titles' thread). The others are Shirley Anne Field and Nicola Blackman.

I've just posted this listing, for a forgotten "musical biography", at the new Christopher Gable thread:


They were all regulars on our screens once Cheryl Kennedy was married to Tom Courtenay at the time

Nice pic of Cheryl Kennedy with dark hair, cornershop!

Been reliving her belly-dancing glory in Carry On Follow That Camel with my Carry On mad son. Remember how in love I was with AH when she was on David Nixon's shows way back when. It was a toss up who I loved more: AH, Diana Rigg or Susan Stranks off Magpie... As a 6 year old, anyone of them could have taken me out to the park for an ice cream - or even all three of them at the same time. I was game.

[Mustard Pies]

She looked a bit like Kay Kendall.

Anita treads the panto boards again this year in Sleeping Beauty at the Theatre Royal, Windsor.

[Ray]

Here is the card that Anita and her husband Mike, sent to me and my colleagues at Ernst and Young in 1990.

I can't believe that it was 21 years ago!

[cornershop15]

That is a lovely card, Ray. In return, a lovely picture ...

Circa 1974. From the much-missed View Images website:

English singer, dancer, all round entertainer & TV personality

[Ray]

That is a lovely card, Ray. In return, a lovely picture ...

Thanks cornershop, lovely photo, but I have yet to see a photo that does Anita's lovely, vibrant personality justice. I have met a lot of big stars, but Anita is right up there with the legends when it comes to star quality and charisma.
