Re: Liz Dawn: Coronation Street's Vera Duckworth dies at 77
We're all calling her Liz, but Elizabeth was a stage name, her real name was Sylvia!
I remember on one occasion having a drink with her and her husband. It was on the opening night of a bar after everyone else (including the manager) had gone home.
The lights in the ladies had been turned off and nobody could work out where the switch was, so I guarded the gents toilet door so that she could go for a pee
