Joyce Blair
Joyce Blair (born Joyce Ogus; 4 November 1932 – 19 August 2006) was an English actress and dancer. She was the younger sister of Lionel Blair, with whom she often performed. She was the mother of actress Deborah Sheridan-Taylor, who played Saskia Duncan in ''EastEnders'', and of a son, Adam, who is a photographer.
== Life and career==

Blair was born in London, as the daughter of Myer Ogus and Deborah (Della) Greenbaum. Her family was Jewish. Her father was a Russian barber; he changed the family name to Blair in her youth, and died when Joyce was 12 years old. Blair was educated at Cone's School in London,〔 and started her show-business career by singing and tap-dancing in front of captive audiences in London air raid shelters during the Second World War.〔 She and her brother took up show-business as professionals to support their mother after their father's death in 1944.〔 She made her first professional stage appearance in the J.M. Barrie play ''Quality Street'' at the Embassy Theatre in 1945, aged 13.〔
She appeared in minor roles in the original London productions of ''South Pacific'' in 1951 and ''Guys and Dolls'' in 1953,〔 and also appeared in off-Broadway musicals and pantomimes.〔 She appeared in several films, but she became well known for her appearances on television in the 1950s and 1960s, in shows such as ''Morecambe and Wise Show'', ''The Benny Hill Show'', ''The Adventures of Robin Hood'', ''New Look'', ''The Saint'' and ''Z-Cars''. In 1963, credited as Miss X, she recorded "Christine", a tune written by John Barry (under an assumed name) and Leslie Bricusse, which was banned by the BBC at the height of the Profumo scandal but reached no.37 on the UK singles chart.〔( Spencer Leigh, "Obituary: John Barry", ''The Independent'', 1 February 2011 ). Retrieved 21 October 2014〕
In 1978, she returned to the West End stage in ''Bar Mitzvah Boy'' and in 1984 she appeared in ''The Last Days of Pompeii'' (1984). She often appeared in dance routines with her brother Lionel until an estrangement in 1977. They did not reconcile their differences until many years later, when their mutual friend Sammy Davis, Jr. was dying of cancer.〔
She died from cancer in Santa Monica, California aged 73.〔 She married three times, to Edward Lever in 1956; to Henry Sheridan-Taylor; and to an American.〔 She was survived by her brother Lionel and her two children, both of whom came from her second marriage.
