Just found out that this lady worked as a striptease artist early in her career

A great actress, I wish she was on our screens a lot more!

I`m pleased Olive didn`t strip tonight! The mind boggles!

well there was some decorating involved if that counts?...

Well, I caught a bit of an old BW episode this afternoon and she was showing Arthur the bruise on her bum (well, the top of her thigh at least).

My bloke often comments that actors' best roles are when they play a complete opposite of their own character. I know Anna's a lovely looking woman, so this is probably why she played Olive so well. Has anyone worked with her? Is she as sassy as Olive is downtrodden? I'd love to know.

She's been appearing now and again for over a decade in EastEnders as Aunt Sal, plain-speaking sister of Barbara Windsor's Peggy Mitchell.

I thought I would give this actress a `bump`, I was watching an episode of on the buses last night called Olive`s divorce and was just wondering why the actor who played Arthur left? Glad Olive didn`t go with him anyway

Does anyone know if they brought in another love interest for Olive at any point?

If I remember rightly I saw a docu saying that the show went a bit down hill after Arthur left.

I haven't seen her in anything since On the Buses. Has anyone any photo's of her - both before Olive & lately please?

Here she is in trouble and strife but she looks the same as she does as Olive IMO

Thanks Faginsgirl. She certainly looked like Olive up until the last photo. I wouldn't have picked her if someone asked me who she was.

A very young Anna Karen from her Soho days - borrowed from Stanley Long's book, "X-Rated - Adventures of an Exploitation Film-maker" (with Simon Sheridan).

Didn't he get fed up with the plots / story lines getting thinner?

Agree Anna Karen is a tree mendous actress

Always knew she was a bit of a looker in her younger days but that's the first time I've seen those pics

Lordy!

There are a few websites which show her with even less (including spectacles!)

I cant say she looks particularly attractive in your pic cornershop, then I`m not a man....but still.......

I wonder why she went the whole hog?

I dunno. I might have given her a different kind of 'bump' ... on a rainy day (

).
