16 dic 2023 · Tiny Esma Cannon, who established herself on British television as the panicky pinny girl "Brother Lil" in The Rag Trade, was known for her Cockney mannerisms - yet she was an Australian chirpy flyweight actress— only 4ft 9in tall —and had been on stage from the age of four in Madame Butterfly.
The Rag Trade originally run from 1961 to 1963. The series starred Peter Jones, Miriam Karlin, Reg Varney, Esma Cannon, Sheila Hancock, and Barbara Windsor. It was revived by LWT in the late seventies and ran from 1978 to 1979. Only Peter Jones and Miriam Karlin returned from the original cast.
Rag Trade regulars were Barbara Windsor, Wanda Ventham, Esma Cannon as little Lily (who used to be good at buttonholes but wasn’t the same once zips came in) and Sheila Hancock. In her book Ramblings of an Actress , Sheila Hancock recalls how she used to suffer badly from nerves before performances.
