Peter Noone (born 5th November 1947 in Davyhulme, Lancashire) appeared as a child actor in two Coronation Street roles: firstly as a child in two episodes during December 1961; and made a return one episode later, as Stanley Fairclough, son of Len (incidentally, the only named guest part to be credited on the programme during the Equity actors' strike).
Two years later, Noone was one of the founder members of the group Herman's Hermits who reached international fame with the hit records I'm into Something Good, Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter and I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am in the UK and United States of America and in the latter country were the top-selling group in 1965 as part of the so-called "British Invasion" in the wake of The Beatles.
The group disbanded in 1971 since when Noone has had a solo career and with a group named The Tremblers and as part of a group named Herman's Hermit's but with Noone as the only original member. He has also continued his acting career and was the special guest on the edition of This Is Your Life, transmitted on 31st March 1971.
