Is it just me, but this woman never seems to age, I remember watching Corrie in the seventies when I was a a little nipper and she looks exatly the same now as she did then, by my reckoning she must be at least 100years old, anyone know how old she really is? she sure looks well, as does Rita Fairclough and Ken Barlow.It must be the make up.:confused:

It's the magic of her hotpot.

Word has it that she's of Plantagenet birth, which makes her very dusty indeed.

She's 87, and last I read she was still driving herself to the studio.

she has just had her birthday (http://www.corrie.net/profiles/actors/driver_betty.html) she seems a lovely lady.
I think she looks great for her age as does william roach who i believe is only 12 years younger than Betty

87 OMG she is fantastic for her age, I hope I am all together like that when I get to 87, although she hasnt had a story line for about 20 years she's still an amazing woman. I think I recall Bill Kenworthy one of the judges of Joseph playing her son Malcolm about 30 years ago. Heres to Betty Turpin long may she keep the hot pot going on Corrie.
