Lynne Perrie

Actress

Having started her career as a band singer Perrie moved seamlessly into acting with Ken Loach's Kes (1969). But it was in 1971 that she first tackled the role with which she would become most closely identified, Ivy Tilsley, an association that lasted until she left Coronation Street in 1994.
