Biography

About Vicki Michelle

Edited by the community

Vicki Michelle, born Thursday 14th of December 1950 in Chigwell, Essex, United Kingdom, is a British actress with a career spanning over five decades. She trained at the Aida Foster Theatre School and quickly moved into a wide range of roles across film, television, and stage. Her portrayal of Yvette in the BBC series 'Allo 'Allo! brought her worldwide recognition, a role she played for all nine seasons. The stage version of 'Allo 'Allo! toured nationally and internationally, including Australia and New Zealand, and enjoyed four seasons in the West End at the Palladium, Prince of Wales, and Dominion theatres.

Vicki's early television work included leading roles in 'Softly Softly,' 'The Professionals,' 'Minder,' and 'Play for Today.' Her comic timing led to appearances with comedians like Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies, Ken Dodd, and Kenny Everett. She appeared in series such as 'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads,' 'Are You Being Served?,' and 'Come Back Mrs Noah,' the last of which was directly instrumental in her casting as Yvette. She has guest-starred on numerous talk and game shows, including three seasons as Noel Edmonds' amorous neighbor on 'Noel's Houseparty,' and appeared on 'This Morning,' 'Generation Game,' 'Give Us A Clue,' 'Through The Keyhole,' 'The Weakest Link,' and 'Stars Reunited.'

Her film credits include 'The Greek Tycoon,' 'The Likely Lads,' 'Alfie Darling,' 'Sweet William,' 'Spectre,' 'The Last Days of Pompeii,' 'George and Mildred,' 'The Priest of Love,' 'Queen Kong,' 'The Sentinel,' 'Four on Four,' and 'The Colour of Funny.' In 2000, she began a new venture with the English Sinfonia, performing Edith Sitwell's poetry to William Walton's 'Façade' at Cressing Temple Festival and on the orchestra's home stage.

Extensive theatre work has taken her from drama to pantomime, musicals to comedy. She played opposite Dudley Moore in 'Play It Again Sam' at the Globe Theatre, London, and starred in 'Doctor in the House' as Vera, Mina in 'Dracula,' Renee in 'Women Of A Certain Age,' Ruth in Alan Ayckbourn's 'Round and Round The Garden' and 'Table Manners,' Pamela Willey in 'Out of Order,' Sally in 'Bedside Manners,' Bathsheba in the British musical version of 'Beauty and the Beast,' and the Narrator in 'Reflections - The Musical Journey of Diana Ross.'

Recent years have seen her achieve significant success in theatre, particularly for her portrayals of Hilda Bigley in 'Business Affairs,' Glenda Parry in 'The Tart and the Vicar's Wife,' Jacqueline in 'Don't Dress For Dinner,' Maxine in 'Stepping Out,' Lady Raeburn and Asphynxia in 'Salad Days,' and Miss Hannigan in 'Annie.' As a seasoned pantomime artist, she has played the title role and spirit in 'Aladdin,' the Red Queen in 'Snow White,' the fairy in 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' Mother Goose, Mrs. Darling and Hook's sister, Harrietta in 'Peter Pan,' Lady Cruella in 'Cinderella' in Llandudno, and a particularly wicked portrayal as the Wicked Fairy in 'Sleeping Beauty' at the Broadway Theatre Peterborough. She later reprised that role as the Syren Fairy for Extravaganza Productions.

Vicki returned to television in the Channel 4 drama 'All in the Game' as Emma, wife of troubled football club manager Frankie, and reprised Yvette for 'The Return of 'Allo 'Allo!' on BBC 2 in April 2007. She has also recently debuted as Patricia Foster in the soap opera 'Emmerdale.' She is active as a presenter and host for corporate events and charity functions. She's 5'5" with an average build, brown hair, and green eyes. She is 75 years old. She has been active since 1968. She is straight and Caucasian. Her breasts are real and natural.
