Born 1949 in Barnet, Hertfordshire, English actress Carol Hawkins played the roles of Sharon Eversleigh in the film of the television series Please Sir!, replacing the departed Penny Spencer. She went on to play the part of Sharon in The Fenn Street Gang.
Hawkins performed in British comedy films of the 1970s, such as two Carry On films: Carry On Abroad (1972), alongside Sally Geeson, and Carry On Behind (1975), alongside Sherrie Hewson. In 1972, she again appeared alongside Geeson in the film adaptation of the British television comedy, Bless This House.
Hawkins appeared in the Carry On Laughing television series, but she declined to appear in the 1976 Carry On England, due to the excessive nudity. Her other film appearances at that time included principal roles in British comedy films Not Now, Comrade and Confessions of a Pop Performer. At the end of 1975, she appeared in the Porridge episode “No Way Out” as a fake doctor assigned to secretly give Fletcher a false passport.
Hawkins “more or less retired” in 2005, with the aim of devoting more time to spiritual matters and animal care. Take a look at these fabulous photos to see the beauty of a young Carol Hawkins in the 1970s.

ReplyDeleteCarol Hawkins' versatile career in British comedy films of the 1970s, particularly her roles in the Carry On series and Bless This House, showcased her talent for both humor and charm, and her decision to step back from acting later in life to focus on spiritual and animal care highlights her admirable sense of purpose beyond the spotlight.
