Louise got her big break in show business when she was selected by Benny Hill to appear on his show as one of the original members of Hill's Angels.

Louise's outstanding comic timing allowed her to more than hold her own with one of the true masters of comedy in sketches he wrote especially to feature her as his leading lady.  She was also the featured performer in many song and dance numbers, and her renditions of classics including La Vie En Rose, Pour Un Flirt Avec Toi, Paradise and Milord quickly became fan favourites.

Louise says of working with Benny, "He was a lovely, lovely guy, and great fun to work with." And the admiration was mutual with Benny saying of Louise, "She definitely has that bit extra. She is very talented."

You can always enjoy Louise's wonderful performances on The Benny Hill Show, as well as the comedy of the lad himself, when you follow Louise's link and order the latest Region 1 videos in the Benny Hill Show Videos: Complete and Unadulterated - The Hill's Angels Years DVDs Collection.

And don't miss even more wonderful images of Louise in the Benny Hill Gallery II.
