Dora Bryan is a British actress, with a long list of films, television shows and plays to her credit. She has a distinctive speaking voice which has become a trademark of her performances.
She often played women of easy virtue, a nosy talkative neighbor, or similarly stereotypical female roles. In 2004 she joined the cast of the long-running BBC comedy series Last of the Summer Wine as Aunt Roz.
In 1996, she was awarded the O.B.E. in recognition of her services to acting and she was awarded a Laurence Olivier Award for her role in the West End theater production of the Harold Pinter play, The Birthday Party.
Dora Bryan recorded “All I Want For Christmas Is A Beatle,” in 1963. The song has the distinction of being the first record that attempted to cash-in on the success of the Beatles, and was a top 20 hit in the UK that year. When this song was released Beatlemania had not yet reached the U.S. shores. The following year there were many other Beatles related Christmas songs released, such as “Ringo Bells,” and “I Want a Beatle for Christmas.”
