Su Pollard
She was born at Nottingham in the United Kingdom. After performing in several West End musicals, she was noticed by BBC producers and chosen to star in a new sitcom Two Up, Two Down with Paul Nicholas.
The sitcom was not a success, but it lead to her being cast as 'Peggy Ollerenshaw' in Hi De Hi. The show was a hit and Pollard became familiar face to families across the United Kingdom.
In 1998 David Croft and Jimmy Perry, the writers of Hi De Hi!, chose Pollard to star in their new sitcom You Rang M'Lord. The show was a moderate success. In the 1990's Su starred in another Croft sitcom Oh, Doctor Beeching. The show was cancelled by the BBC after only 19 episodes. Critics joked that it had received a "Beeching axe".
Su also voiced two characters of two animated children's television programmes produced for the BBC: the title character of Penny Crayon and 'Noisy', of the Little Robots.
In recent years she has been in several plays and musicals such as Annie and The Pirates of Penzance.
In addition to acting, Pollard has also had a singing career. In 1986, she reached number 2 in the UK singles chart with the song "Starting Together". It is her only Top 40 entry to date.
