Enid Dunn

Enid Dunn has appeared twice in Coronation Street: in January 2002 she played Joan Lawson, the aunt of the deceased Dennis Stringer at the latter's funeral. Four years later, in January 2006, she returned as an Old Crone at an art exhibition.

In real life, Enid only turned to acting in the late 1990s after many years working as an haute couture seamstress. Her childhood ambition to tread the boards was fuelled by the success of her son - Street actor Antony Cotton - in his roles in theatre and television, and she decided on her change of career after celebrating her fiftieth birthday. She has also appeared in City Central, Merseybeat, several roles in Doctors and regular role in Cutting It and Phoenix Nights, the latter in the part of Joyce, one of the barmaids in Peter Kay's clubland comedy.
