Miriam Karlin - 11714

Fine British character actress.

Karlin is probably best known for playing the belligerent, militant shop steward Paddy in the The Rag Trade, a BBC television sitcom set in a textile factory. Paddy would use the slightest opportunity to cause a strike; her trademark and catchphrase was blowing a whistle and shouting "Everybody out!" She played the role, to great success, between 1961 and 1963. The show was later resurrected by commercial television from 1977 to 1978.

Karlin has also appeared in a large number of films, including Room At The Top (1959), The Entertainer (1960), The Millionairess (1960), Heavens Above! (1963), The Bargee(1964), A Clockwork Orange (1971) and Mahler (1974).

This is a wonderfully cheery black and white photograph (4.25" x 3.25") of the younger Miriam Karlin, boldly signed across the image in black ink. In very good condition.
