Legendary Australian-born character actress of the British screen, Miss
Cannon was without doubt one of the best scene-stealing actresses.
Her pixie-like looks and extraordinary facial expressions made her a
true favourite of many a British movie.
Without her appearances in many a 'Carry On' film in the 1960s, her
career would have probably been forgotten today. Arguably, her most
famous performance was as the lonely but happy spinster in
Ist ja irre - Der Schiffskoch ist seekrank (1962). The
bar scene with Dilys Laye where both of their
characters get hideously drunk, is as legendary as the movie itself.
