Brunette showbiz personality with somewhat gnomish face who made a whole career out of impersonating Queen Elizabeth II on TV, music videos and films. She even opened stores under the guise of the late monarch. Born Jeannette Clark, her film cameos include those in Naughty Girls on the Loose (1975), Queen Kong (1976), If Tomorrow Comes (1986), The Big Gag (1987), The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), Shining Time Station: Queen for a Day (1995), The Parent Trap (1998), Tusenarsfesten (1999), and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), her last. She died at 96, the same age as the late Queen. In truth, they were never that much alike.
