Petula Clark – Surrey, 88

From being a child entertainer on the radio to become a familiar face on the red carpet, Petula Clark has indeed come a long way. During the second world war, the singer rose to fame, working as a radio personality, all the while grappling with the struggles of warfare.

But with sheer hard work and a commitment to make it big, Petula climbed up the ranks until she launched her television career with the BBC. The performer was then allowed to host her very own afternoon series, titled Petula Clark. Today, the actress is now one of the most acclaimed artists in Britain!
