Louise began her career at an early age when, while at ballet school, she was chosen to appear in the classic children’s film Bugsy Malone in the role of the ballerina. Soon after, she was selected as Butlin's Holiday Princess and then won a beauty contest sponsored by British Leyland and Weekend Magazine.
While still in school, she auditioned for a place with Pan's People, a nationally touring dance troupe, and was offered a contract. She accepted and, only a couple days after completing her schooling, began a year with the group that was filled with appearing on television, cabaret, theatre, trade shows, modelling at fashion shows and appearing in television commercials.
Louise soon had a chance to present her acting, singing and dancing talent to a world-wide audience as she was chosen by Benny Hill to be one of the original members of the famous Hill's Angels on The Benny Hill Show and quickly earned a role as the featured performer.
Louise's outstanding comic timing allowed her to more than hold her own with one of the true masters of comedy in sketches Benny Hill wrote especially to feature her as his leading lady. She was also the featured guest performer in many song and dance numbers, and her renditions of classic songs including "La Vie en Rose," "Pour Un Flirt Avec Toi," "Paradise," and "Milord" quickly became favourites of fans throughout the United States and more than 140 other countries.
Her extraordinary talent and great beauty garnered her guest star appearances on many television shows including playing the role of Lucia Morella in two series of the popular BBC series Brush Strokes and filming the pilot for the BBC game show Full Swing.
Louise was also a featured guest star on the Central TV entertainment specials Elkie and Our Gang with Elkie Brooks and Gemma Craven, Saturday Royal, and Entertainment Express (all choreographed by Nigel Lythgoe); Dream Alley and Starburst. |
