Vicki Michelle was born on December 14, 1950 in Chigwell, Great Britain. She inherited her talent and passion for the stage from her mother, who was not very popular. Her greatest inspiration was the star of Italian cinema, . When she finished high school, she decided to continue her education at a private theater school, which she successfully completed.
Her career gained momentum 11 years after her debut. The role of Yvette is still the most popular in her career
She first appeared on screen in 1971 in the erotic horror film “Virgin Witch”. However, the beginnings in the industry were not easy and although she went to castings, she received few roles. Four years later, she appeared in the film “Alfie Darling” alongside Joan Collins, known from “Dynasty”, played a robot in the science-fiction comedy “Mrs. Noah’s Voyage” and joined the permanent cast of the children’s program “Crackerjack”. Despite great determination and commitment, none of these productions brought her popularity. The breakthrough came only more than a decade after the debut.
In 1982, Michelle was cast as the seductive waitress Yvette Carte-Blanche in BBC One’s “Allo, Allo”, which completely stole the hearts of viewers and her popularity skyrocketed. – When I read the script for the pilot of the series, I immediately thought it was great! I was laughing almost the entire time while reading it. At that time, I had the opportunity to review many scripts of various productions, but this one stood out – in one of the interviews. Initially, the sitcom did not enjoy much viewership, but each subsequent series gained more and more viewers. Ultimately, the production had 9 seasons, and the last episode was broadcast in 1992.
New episodes of “Allo, Allo” have not been produced for over three decades. What does Yvette from the series look like today?
When the series disappeared from the screens, Michelle’s career also slowed down a bit. At that time, she appeared on screens less and less often, but she regularly appeared on stage, playing, among others, in the evil queen in the play “Sleeping Beauty”. In the meantime, she also began to engage in charity work, for which she received the Order of the British Empire in 2010.
On December 14, 2023, Vicki Michelle will celebrate her 73rd birthday. Although the last shot on the set of the cult sitcom took place over three decades ago, it must be admitted that little has changed since then. The actress is present on social media and willingly publishes photos from her private life on her Instagram profile. He is also still working in his profession. She last appeared in “Cold Sun”, which debuted in cinemas in 2021.
