Pauline Collins, OBE (born 3 September 1940) is an English actress who is known for playing Sarah in Upstairs, Downstairs and for playing the title role in Shirley Valentine.

Collins played Samantha Briggs in the 1967 Doctor Who serial The Faceless Ones and was offered the chance to continue in the series as a new companion for the Doctor, but declined the invitation.

Collins first became well known for her role as the maid Sarah in the 1970s ITV drama series Upstairs, Downstairs. The character appeared regularly throughout the first two series, the second of which also starred her actor husband, John Alderton, with whom she later starred in a spin-off, Thomas & Sarah (1979), and the sitcom No, Honestly, as well as in a series of short story adaptations called Wodehouse Playhouse (1975-78).

In 1988, Collins starred in the one-woman play Shirley Valentine in London, reprising the role on Broadway in 1989 and in the 1989 film version, in which she famously appeared nude. The film won a number of awards.

Collins was awarded the OBE in 2001.

You can see Pauline Collins getting topless in a scene from the 1985 BBC2 play 'Knockback' in this clip; full credit to OP 'mitchspur' who posted this gem on another VEF thread.

Some nice cleavage is on display here from Pauline Collins (along with name-sake Joan Collins) in these caps from the 1979-1988 ITV series 'Tales of the Unexpected'. A video clip will follow in due course.
