Sally Ann Geeson (born 23 June 1950 in Cuckfield, West Sussex) is an English actress with a career mostly on television in the 1970s. Her most famous role was as Sid James' daughter, Sally, in Bless This House. The series was one of the first in colour in the UK; indeed the first seven episodes of Series One were in black and white. Her character was only 16 at the start despite the fact Geeson herself was in her early 20s.
She appeared in Carry On Abroad and Carry On Girls; she also starred alongside Norman Wisdom in the film What's Good for the Goose in 1969.
She retired from acting when Bless This House ended in 1976 after the death of James, and later took up a career in teaching. Her sister, Judy Geeson, is also a very successful actress. She has two children, Barney and Hayley, by Fifteen to One presenter William G. Stewart, who also directed and produced Bless This House. She later married Richard Lewis, an estate agent. Now divorced, they have a son called Christopher. She lives in Surrey.
