Julie Goodyear – Born in 1942, Coronation Street

Anyone who has seen Julie in Coronation Street can have difficulty picturing her in any other role that isn’t comic. However, the actress had a very successful career as a model before attaining her stardom. The zero-figure English model with blonde hair was hard to ignore for the casting agents when they cast her as Bet Lynch in Coronation Street.

Waltzing through the years of filmography, four marriages, and several awards, Julie still appears in excellent spirit. She has many virtues, and donning magnificently colorful garbs is one of them. Her sense of humor gets a studio full of audiences cracking up, and that hasn’t gone away as she ages.
