Born 1934, Jean grew up in London’s East End before joining a circus at the tender age of 14 and embarked upon a remarkable and highly successful theatrical career. By the late 1950s Jean had toured the country playing dozens of variety theatres and appearing in several leading pantomimes before joining London’s famous Windmill Theatre and performing with such legendary figures as Harry Secombe and Bruce Forsyth.

In the 1970's Jean performed cabaret at some of the country’s most prodigious venues including The Dorchester and in London’s West End where she worked alongside theatrical legend John Le Mesurier. Jean also spent some time in the USA and was a regular on The Joey Adams TV Show ‘Coast to Coast’ before returning to the UK and becoming a regular on TV’s Hi de Hi and Eastenders.

Jean is represented by galleries throughout England, in London, and in Spain. She has taken part in many exhibitions and shows including the Landmark Arts Centre Art Fair, On the Wall, Affordable Art Fair London & Art Ireland.
