Susan Littler
Susan Littler (31 December 1947 – 11 July 1982) was an English actress who appeared in many television and stage productions in the 1970s and early 1980s, before her career was cut short by her premature death. A versatile and respected actress, Littler is perhaps best remembered for her BAFTA-nominated role in the 1977 BBC ''Play for Today'' production ''Spend, Spend, Spend'' (1977), directed by John Goldschmidt. Her film career included roles in the 1973 film version of ''The Lovers'', and ''Rough Cut'' (1980) starring Burt Reynolds.
==Television==
Born in Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire, Littler trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London and started her career working in repertory in provincial theatres around Britain, including Bolton, Darlington, Plymouth and Nottingham. She made her first television appearance in a 1970 ''ITV Playhouse'' production ''Don't Touch Him, He Might Resent It'', followed by ''Another Sunday and Sweet F.A.'' (1972), a Jack Rosenthal football-based drama also for ITV. During the early 1970s, Littler played roles of varying sizes in several of the most popular British TV shows of the time, including the soap operas ''Coronation Street'' and ''Emmerdale Farm'', police dramas ''Z-Cars'', ''Softly, Softly: Taskforce'' and ''New Scotland Yard'', comedies ''The Liver Birds'' and ''Porridge'', and prison drama ''Within These Walls''. More substantial roles came in ''Trinity Tales'' (1975), Alan Plater's contemporary reworking of ''The Canterbury Tales'' and marriage guidance serial ''Couples'' (1975–76).
Between 1974 and 1981, Littler starred in four productions for the BBC's ''Play for Today'' anthology series, the best remembered being the Jack Rosenthal adaptation of the memoirs of pools winner Viv Nicholson'', Spend, Spend, Spend'' (1977). Nicholson, a Yorkshire housewife and mother, who had faced a constant struggle to keep her family's heads above water financially, won £152,316 on the football pools in 1961, but spent it all. Littler's performance, bringing out Nicholson's vulnerabilities as well as her excesses, was highly praised by critics and earned her a 1977 BAFTA Best Television Actress nomination.〔(BAFTA Awards database )〕 Littler's other ''Play for Today'' roles were ''Taking Leave'' (1974), ''A Story to Frighten the Children'' (1976) and ''Baby Talk'' (1981).
Littler's last TV appearances were ''The Quiet Days of Mrs. Stafford'' (an August 1981 ''ITV Playhouse'' feature), ''A Voyage Round My Father'' (1982) and ''Whale Music'', broadcast posthumously in 1983.〔(Susan Littler at IMDb.com )〕
