Joan Turner

Joan Turner (24 November 1922 – 1 March 2009) was a British comedian and singer born in Belfast and brought up in London. She appeared on stage and TV and had her own radio show, becoming the highest-earning female singer in Britain. But she proved difficult to work with, largely through her drinking habit, and lived for years as a down-and-out in Los Angeles.
