'''Carol Hawkins''' (born 31 January 1949 in [[Chipping Barnet|Barnet]], [[Hertfordshire]]) is an [[England|English]] actress, best known for her various comic roles in numerous TV sitcoms and films in the [[1970s]] and [[1980s]].

She played the roles of Sharon Eversleigh in the film of the television series ''[[Please Sir!]]'' and Sandra in the BBC TV series ''[[Porridge (1974 TV series)|Porridge]]'', and starred in two ''Carry On'' films (''[[Carry On Abroad]]'' as Marge and ''[[Carry On Behind]]'' as Sandra).

==Biography==
Hawkins trained early on as a [[shorthand typist]] at Pitman's College, London, but, following some modelling and promotion work, attended the [[Corona Stage Academy]] in [[Hammersmith]], London.<ref>{{cite book |last=Askwith |first=Robin |title=The Confessions Of Robin Askwith |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RdsxQlJnCoQC&q=carol+hawkins+corona+stage+academy&pg=PT243 |publisher=Random House |date=31 August 2012 |isbn=9781448118687 |via=Google Books}}</ref> While still training as an actress, she won the part of Sharon Eversleigh in the film of the popular television series ''[[Please Sir!]]'', replacing the departed [[Penny Spencer]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1000845/frankie-abbott-david-barry-itv-please-sir-the-fenn-street-gang|title=My favourite photograph by actor David Barry|first=Tony|last=Padman|date=8 August 2018|publisher=}}</ref> Hawkins went on to play the part of Sharon in ''[[The Fenn Street Gang]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britishclassiccomedy.co.uk/the-fenn-street-gang|title=The Fenn Street Gang - British Classic Comedy|date=2 October 2017|publisher=}}</ref>

She performed in British comedy films of the 1970s, such as two ''[[Carry On (film series)|Carry On]]'' films: ''[[Carry On Abroad]]'' (1972), alongside [[Sally Geeson]], and ''[[Carry On Behind]]'' (1975), alongside [[Sherrie Hewson]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Carol Hawkins - Movies and Filmography - AllMovie |url=https://www.allmovie.com/artist/carol-hawkins-p219835 |website=AllMovie}}</ref> In 1972, she again appeared alongside Geeson in the film adaptation of the popular British television comedy, ''[[Bless This House (film)|Bless This House]]''.

She appeared in the ''[[Carry On Laughing]]'' television series, but she declined to appear in the 1976 ''[[Carry On England]]'', due to the excessive nudity. (The part written for Hawkins was played instead by Tricia Newby.)<ref>{{cite web |title=Carol Hawkins |url=http://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=20979 |publisher= }}</ref> Her other film appearances at that time included principal roles in British comedy films ''[[Not Now, Comrade]]'' and ''[[Confessions of a Pop Performer]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6b1bbc35|title=Not Now, Comrade (1976)|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6bcb134d|title=Confessions of a Pop Performer (1975)|publisher=}}</ref> At the end of 1975, she appeared in the ''[[Porridge (1974 TV series)|Porridge]]'' episode "[[No Way Out (Porridge)|No Way Out]]" as a fake doctor assigned to secretly give Fletcher a false passport.<ref>{{cite web |title=BBC One - Porridge, Christmas Special: No Way Out |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007894v|publisher=BBC}}</ref>

Hawkins "more or less retired" in 2005,<ref>[http://www.carolhawkins.co.uk/aboutme.html Carol Hawkins, "About Me", Official website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120605033615/http://www.carolhawkins.co.uk/aboutme.html |date=June 5, 2012}}</ref> with the aim of devoting more time to spiritual matters and animal care.
