As time has gone on, William Brown and David Hawkins have been able to pretty much verify the names and identities of many of the women who appeared in the series as Hill's Angels. This section is divided into five pages for now, but could very well expand to many more as time goes on. See if your favorite Angel is here!
A Photo of Elfrida Ashworth from The Spotlight Magazine. She appeared in The Cruise and The "Lady Godiva" routines, as well as making a brief appearance in the film "Labyrinth".
The lovely Alison Bell, as seen in the "Keep Young and Beautiful" number from Feb. 11, 1981. This statuesque (5' 10"), voluptuous beauty first appeared on TBHS on the April 25, 1979 show, where in all likelihood she played "Lady Cynthia Ramsbottom" in the famous "The Police Raid in Waterloo Station" sketch. Her winning smile lit up such routines and sketches as "Hotel Splendide," "The Poster Girl," and "Little Dimpton Street Party"; her almost Amazonesque height and ample proportions lent themselves to such over-the-top characters as a She-Hulk, a female vampire, and an S&M dominatrix. On at least two occasions, she appeared in roles played in earlier versions/incarnations by Lesley Goldie (qv): as a woman trapped inside a burning building in the remake of "A Tribute to the Lower Tidmarsh Fire Brigade," and as the younger wife of Jackie Wright in "The Lover." Ms. Bell's only known entry in The Spotlight (London), published in the 1982/83 edition, did not list the Hill show among her credits, but listed other TV credits such as appearances on the Bruce Forsyth and Little & Large shows; and a West End (London) stage show, Underneath the Arches. Also appeared in a 1986 episode of Chance in a Million. She was interviewed for featurettes on the Hill's Angels in Sets 4 and 5 of A&E Video's Complete & Unadulterated series of DVD's. Is not to be confused with the former British TV newscaster of the same name.
Actress and dancer Camilla Blair, as seen in the opening of the "Keep Young and Beautiful" number of her only credited TBHS appearance on Feb. 11, 1981; during the making of that show, she also taped a quickie which opened the next show, March 25, 1981. She was also an assistant on Winner Takes All, and other major TV credits include The Val Doonican Music Show and Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards Right.
One of the 1984 Angels, Noreen Bothen, as seen in the Hill's Angels Aerobatics (a.k.a. Workout) opening. She was among a handful of Angels to have previously been a cheerleader on the BBC's long-running Top of the Pops.
The lovely Emma Bryant (top) as she appeared in the big January 2, 1985 musical number (duetting with Louise English). Her appearane in the April 25, 1979 "Maria, Maria" opening number, (middle), when she also appeared in the "O'Jack" and "Yield to the Dawn: Lean on My Crutch" sketches, and (bottom) in the May 27, 1985 "Costa Coco" opening number. For part of the period in between her 1979 appearance and her 1985-86 run as a Hill's Angel, Ms. Bryant was a dancer in future Angels choreographer Libby Roberts' prior dance troupe, Lipstick.
Zoe Bryant, as seen in one of the quickies of the Jan. 13, 1988 show. She was among the group of Hill's Angels for the 1988 series.
Helen Carpenter, one of the latter-day Hill's Angels of TBHS as seen in the "Seven Foolish Virgins" segment on April 5, 1989. She was the longest-lasting of all the Angels who appeared on the show in its last few years on the air, first appearing on Jan. 13, 1988 and lasting right up to the Benny Hill's World Tour: New York special in 1990. Is known today as Helen Carpenter-Waters; she is an aerobics and fitness expert, and choreographer who teaches various courses in dance and music. One web page featuring her, with a more recent picture, can be seen at www.fitpro.com; she is also founder and leader of the UK Fitness Academy, the homepage of which (with another recent picture of her) can be found at ukfitnessacademy.co.uk; the site has a biography of her (click on the "About Us" page and go to her name), but while her entry mentions that she's done much film, video and TV, they make no mention of any specific credits, let alone her time on TBHS.
From the 'Club Chic-a-Go-Go' number of April 27, 1988, a shot of Lindsey Cole (whose name has also been spelt Lindsay Cole, as well as Lyndsey Cole). She is one of a handful of Hill's Angels who were also Hot Gossip alumni. Later known as Lindsey Ashton.
Two stills of Jane Conaway, both from the 1983 series on which she was a Hill's Angel: (top) the March 16, 1983 "Wild, Wild West" (a.k.a. Lady Godiva) opening, where she wore the "I'm Sue" T-shirt, and (bottom) towards the end of the Hill's Angels Cruise Liner routine.
A shot of Nikki Critcher from the "Wild, Wild West" (a.k.a. Lady Godiva) dance routine of March 16, 1983. Her other credits include Whose Baby? and the 1981 TV miniseries version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Is listed as Nicola Critcher in the IMDb.
