Liz Fraser was born on Aug 14, 1930 in UK. Liz Fraser's big-screen debut came with Touch and Go directed by Michael Truman in 1955. Liz Fraser is known for Miss Marple: Nemesis directed by David Tucker, Joan Hickson stars as Miss Jane Marple and Peter Tilbury as Lionel Peel. The upcoming new movie Liz Fraser plays is The Night We Got the Bird which will be released on Nov 18, 2022.

Best known for playing the perpetually dizzy blonde bimbo in several instalments of the Carry On franchise, buxom Liz Frazer (born Elizabeth Joan Winch, above a corner shop in south London) studied at RADA on a scholarship and first acted in repertory theatre and television before breaking into films. Her first role of note was Cynthia, the daughter of radical left-wing shop steward Fred Kite in The Boulting Brothers comedy Après moi le déluge (1959) (the film which made Peter Sellers a star). There was a second outing with Sellers, (Le paradis des monte-en-l'air (1960), in which she played his girl friend Ethel and up next were eight guest appearances on Hancock's Half Hour (1956). By that time, her screen personae were firmly established as scatterbrained blondes or feisty gum-chewing working class cockneys. Though she often managed to rise above her material, the typecasting sadly continued through a series of dreadful low-brow 70s sex comedies in the 'Adventures' and 'Confessions' series which represented a significant step-down from the Carry Ons and did nothing for her reputation.Liz attempted to change her image by playing straight dramatic roles in Chaque chose en son temps (1966) and Les bas quartiers (1968) (as the mother) and her later career prospered as a fine character actress with guest spots on Les professionnels (1977), Minder (1979), Foyle's War (2002) and Inspecteur Barnaby (1997), along with a string of successes on the West End stage. In her private life, she was known to be fond of animals, loved playing bridge and ladies' bowls at the exclusive Hurlingham club in Fulham. Her financial astuteness brought substantial gains at the stock market, which Liz in turn developed into a healthy property portfolio. She always spoke fondly of her co-stars, many of whom she regarded as her close 'mates' during the sixties, in particular Sidney James, Joan Sims, Tony Hancock and Tommy Cooper.
