She recalls her East End childhood and her days in the "Carry On" team and the other highlights of her acting career; parts in Ken Russel's "The Boyfriend" and Joan Littlewood's "Oh What a Lovely War". Renowned for her saucy laugh and distinctive anatomy, Barbara Windsor emerges, despite experiencing much sadness in her life, as a resourceful and determinedly cheerful woman.
