Esma Cannon
Esma Ellen Charlotte Littman (née Cannon) (27 December 1905 – 18 October 1972), credited as Esme or Esma Cannon, was a diminutive () Australian-born character actress and comedienne, who moved to Britain in the early 1930s. Although better known in her latter years for her television roles, she was best known as a film actress, with a lengthy career in early British productions, from the 1930s to the 1950s.
==Career==
Her film début was an uncredited part in ''The Man Behind the Mask'' (1936); she was first credited as Polly Shepherd in ''The Last Adventurers'' (1937), and she appeared in 64 films over the next 26 years. She had small parts in three early Powell and Pressburger films: ''The Spy in Black'' (1939), ''Contraband'' (1940) and ''A Canterbury Tale'' (1944), ''Holiday Camp'' (1947) and, towards the end of her career, appeared in ''Inn for Trouble'' (1960), ''Doctor in Love'' (1960), ''Raising the Wind'' (1961), ''What a Carve Up!'' (1961), ''Over the Odds'' (1961), ''We Joined the Navy'' (1962), ''On the Beat'' (1962), ''Nurse on Wheels'' (1963) and ''Hide and Seek'' (1964).
In ''Holiday Camp'' she gave a fine dramatic performance of a pathetic and sad spinster who is lured to her death and is the murder victim, quite different from her usual comedy roles.
She is perhaps best remembered for her role as Edie Hornett opposite Peggy Mount in the comedy ''Sailor Beware!'' (1956). She played "Brother" Lil in the British television comedy series ''The Rag Trade'' (1961–1963), and also appeared in four ''Carry On'' films: ''Carry On Constable'' (1960), ''Carry On Regardless'' (1961), ''Carry On Cruising'' (1962) and ''Carry On Cabby'' (1963).
