Connection
Lynne Perrie is a Actor British born on 7 april 1931 at Rotherham (United-kingdom)
Jean Dudley, known professionally as Lynne Perrie (7 April 1931 - 24 March 2006), was an English actress, singer, comedienne, presenter and author. Born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, she was the older sister of comedian and actor Duggie Brown. She rose to prominence in the 1960s as a cabaret singer, but was to become best known for her acting. Perrie is most recognised as Mrs Casper in Ken Loach's 1969 film Kes, Mrs. Petty in the television series Queenie's Castle, and as Ivy Tilsley in Coronation Street, a character she portrayed from 1971 until 1994.
In March 1994, Perrie was reportedly fired from Coronation Street due to having cosmetic lip enhancements which dramatically changed her appearance. The significant publicity she subsequently received made her a subject of ridicule, and her career and reputation suffered as a result. For the next three years she became a media personality, and made high profile appearances on entertainment shows like The Word and Shooting Stars, which were notable for the fact that she appeared to be drunk live on the air. Her lifestyle and eccentric behavior became almost as well known as her long career in show business, and in 1996 she was the subject of a Channel 4 film The Ghost Of Ivy Tilsley.

Rating78%
The film focuses on 15-year-old Billy Casper, who has little hope in life and is bullied, both at home by his physically and verbally abusive older half-brother, Jud, and at school. He is constantly held to account for some prior run-ins with the police, although he insists that his mischief is behind him. Yet we see evidence of his mischievous side as he carries out his morning newspaper delivery, stealing eggs and milk from milk floats. He has difficulty paying attention in school and is often provoked into tussles with classmates. Billy comes across as an emotionally neglected boy with little self-respect. Billy's father has left the family some time ago, and his mother refers to him in the film as a "hopeless case.
