Stylish pop art illustration of Anne Kirkbride, the Coronation Street actress known as Deirdre Barlow.

Anne Kirkbride first appeared in Coronation Street as Deirdre Hunt in 1972 and would continue to appear in the soap up until 2014.

The character of Deirdre Barlow, previously Deirdre Langton, became well-known for her oversized spectacles, her husky voice, and bubble perm.

Later becoming Deirdre Rachid, Anne purportedly had a photographic memory, ideal for memorising the fast turnaround of scripts required by soap opera episodes.

Anne Kirkbride was posthumously awarded the Outstanding Achievement award at the 2015 British Soap Awards.
