Celebrating television's This Is Your Life
Petula CLARK (1932-)
THIS IS YOUR LIFE - Petula Clark, singer and actress, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC Television Theatre.
Petula began her professional career as a child performer on BBC Radio during the Second World War, before appearing in several post-war British films, including Here Come the Huggetts and London Town.
She scored a number of major hit recordings during the 1950s with such songs as The Little Shoemaker and With All My Heart, and later, focussing on a new career in France, continued through the early 1960s to achieve hit records on both sides of the Channel.
Petula Clark was a subject of This Is Your Life on three occasions - surprised a second time by Eamonn Andrews in April 1975 at the ABC Television Studios in Borehamwood, and a third time by Michael Aspel in March 1996 at the Adelphi Theatre in London – the only subject to receive the tribute three times.
