About Amanda Barrie
Amanda Barrie (born Shirley Anne Broadbent, 14 September 1935) is a distinguished English actress whose career spans stage, film, and television. She began performing as a dancer and chorus girl in the West End before transitioning into acting, making her screen debut in Operation Bullshine (1959).
Barrie gained national recognition for her roles in the Carry On film series, notably as the cab driver in Carry On Cabby (1963) and the title role in Carry On Cleo (1964), where her comedic timing and charisma made her a standout among the ensemble cast.
Her most iconic television role came in 1981 when she was cast as Alma Sedgewick (later Halliwell) in the long-running ITV soap opera Coronation Street. Initially appearing sporadically, Barrie became a regular in 1988 and remained a central character until Alma’s emotional departure in 2001. Her portrayal earned her widespread acclaim and a lasting place in British television history.
Barrie continued her career with roles in Bad Girls, Doctors, and Benidorm, and has remained active in theatre, pantomime, and public appearances. Her autobiography It’s Not a Rehearsal (2003) candidly explores her life and career, further endearing her to fans.
