Stylish pop art illustration of Jean Alexander, the iconic Coronation Street actress who portrayed Hilda Ogden.

The much-loved character of Hilda Ogden, with her hair curlers and flying ducks, first appeared on the cobbles in 1964 and continued until 1987, with special appearances in 1990 & 1998.

For her work in Coronation Street, Jean won the 1985 Royal Television Society Award for Best Performance, and received a 1988 BAFTA TV Award nomination for Best Actress, the first actress to do so for a soap opera. To date, Jean is one of only two soap actresses to be nominated for a BAFTA, the other being June Brown.

As well as Coronation Street, Jean appeared in “Last of the Summer Wine”, the Profumo affair film “Scandal” with Britt Ekland, “Cluedo” with Joanna Lumley, and “The Way with Reggie” with Michael Caine.
