Born in Nottingham, she was famous for her stage role as the cruel landlady Mrs. Voray in the play No Room at the Inn in the mid-1940s; she appeared in the film adaptation of 1948. Her later screen roles were mostly on TV, including a role on the first episode of Adam Adamant Lives and on Blake's 7. Her final film appearance was in 1981; she died nine years later in Northampton, aged 82. She was married to the artist Henry Bird.
