I was a huge fan of Betty Driver she was a brilliant actress who worked hard all of her life. Thanks for all of the info Alan. Very interesting. Betty Turpin was a wonderful character. This is very nostalgic, there’s only one Betty Driver.
Hello Joan she seemed a very level-headed woman from the interviews I've seen and I only once had personal contact with them. I asked for a signed photograph for a website I was constructing and she sent it along with a little letter. Thank you for the comments. Regards, Alan
Hi Alan hope your well Betty did seem to be just one of those lovely old fashioned lady that respected people and cared for anyone down to earth too. RIP SWEETHEART BETTY xxxx 💕💕💕
Hello Karen, I was asked her for a signed out to go for a website and she was very nice and sent it immediately. I heard she was a lovely lady in real life. Very down to earth. Thank you for your great coming. It was kind of you.
There was more to Betty than hotpot! I often got asked if I was related to her as my maiden name is Driver, but sadly not. You got some great views of St Annes Square in this. It was always fancy. Glad to see it's still well kept.😊❤
Great video to a legend of the street. Nice story about Beryl Fornby which was interesting. Shame she didn’t have an actual burial site but you have to respect the family’s wishes for wanting a private location. Thanks, Alan , for making another great video ❤
Hello John, George seemed a nice guy. It was just his wife she seemed to wear the trousers for sure. Strangely enough, a couple of days ago somebody has told me the burial spot which I thought wasn't the case. But I am a time of checking out yet sounded genuine. I'll let you know. Alan
Loved Betty brilliant actress my auntie was at school with her I remember her telling me when I was young. Very interesting story thanks again for sharing love from Gill Holmfirth West Yorkshire ❤️
Hi Alan wasn’t sure weather I’d seen this before or not but I hadn’t a really lovely place lovely lady it’s hard to believe that she’s not in it anymore good video thanks Alan ❤️😊👍🏻
Hello Crystal, it was the church where they had ceremony for Betty and all the Carnation Street stars turned up. It was pandemonium but the actual location was kept a secret 👍
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep thanks Alan I had tough last night thought of you as I was watching qvc and this woman had bright red lipstick on it was so bright I could see why you weren’t so keen ❤️😊
@@crystaldance5731 Thanks for the thoughts Cristal it's just a very weird thing to do when you think about logical thoughts then again it makes people happy :-)
Betty aways came across to me as a very nice person, no wonder she was so liked by so many. Pity we have nowhere to visit. I wonder where she was laid to rest. R.I.P Betty.
1940 Betty was appearing at Coventry theatre , on the night of the coventry blitz she hid deep down in the theatre vaults with a young girl whose family was also appearing there, the girl was julie Andrews.
My mum knew her very well .Betty was a land girl she worked on a farm with my mums brother . There used to go and see her at the odeon threatre in Horsham.
I thought she was a lovely singer and an excellent actress. Loved listening to her interview I must admit. Such an interesting life. Thank you Betty, you left many of us the better for knowing you.
Never forget Betty's hot pot..she was the mother of corrie! A woman with many talents who didn't get the appreciation she deserved but she took it on the chin and became her own star
PS. A pity re the mentally-deficient troll 'commentator/s' plying their crap here. As long as we are aware of their total stupidity. All the best. R 🍻 😎
Hi Alan always remember at Rovers Betty's Hot pot her husband Harry Driver wrote the script for Corrie St Betty was a great actress and remember when she got elected as mayoress of weatherfield along with Alf Roberts
Hi Hance I didn't know anything about a husband writing the scripts but that's pretty interesting. I did watch it when she was in it and when I started a website for Roger Moore she was one of the first people to come graduate me and send me a signed autograph. He was a very nice person I think in real life and very down to earth.. interesting comment as always my friend Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Hi Alan Betty Driver's husband Harry took Polio in 1955 and he left Coronation st he lost the power of his arms and legs and had to use his mouth to aid in typing a script along with Doris Speed (Annie Walker. Alan you could say Betty Driver and Doris speed were from the old school, both run a tight ship at the Rovers return, remembered many years ago going to Granada Studios and seeing the set and even seeing Annie Walkers fur colared lepard skin type coat take care mate.😀
Betty was my favourite character in Coronation st, and still is to this day, she had a warm personality, and was the sort of lady who would of been a 'nice auntie', speaking of family, her Mother sounded rather selfish, I was watching a chat show with her, when she mentioned that her mother had swindled her out of alot of her earnings. - Not good!! I might try to download the old film, boots boots, im entreagued about watching it.
Maybe the Vicar wouldn't of known, Betty passed away several years ago. (RlP) . Quite an unusual scenario to have a private unknown grave like that, Iv not actually heard of that with a grave before. (?)

I haven't watched Coronation St for years, just not the same without the older cast members like Betty. She was good and could be humorous too.
Yes its change too much,sex& drugs etc. Before so nice

Good thing that it wasn't Beryl Formby, cos they didn't get along apparently.
Betty was a star❤
If you can get hold of it, her autobiography is a really excellent read.
My mum knew her very well .Betty was a land girl she worked on a farm with my mums brother . There used to go and see her at the odeon threatre in Horsham.

When you was speaking to the Vicar of the church did you not ask where Betty Driver's grave was ?
Hi Christine he would not tell me. He said it was private.
Maybe the Vicar wouldn't of known, Betty passed away several years ago. (RlP) . Quite an unusual scenario to have a private unknown grave like that, Iv not actually heard of that with a grave before. (?)
