Alison King – Coronation Street – Age 48

Alison King made her debut in 1985 with an episode on Harvey Moon. However, she made a big splash with the show Coronation Street in 2004 with the role of Carla Barlow in over 1,500 episodes.

She even completed a three-year diploma at the North Cheshire Theater school before she was cast in a key role of Lynda Block in Sky One’s Dream Team. Before starring in Coronation Street she was part of several shows, including Dream Team, Cold Feet, and Holby City.

One interesting fact about her – she was a dental nurse before she caught the acting bug, and made quite an impression as Mrs. Franshaw. Alison is currently engaged to David Stuckey. She is not only known for her acting chops in the show, but also for her pretty face.
