A Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for the actress Dinah Sheridan.

We the undersigned request that the film, television and theatre actress Dinah Sheridan is made a Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

Dinah Sheridan was born on 17th September 1920 and is another household favourite with a whole list of film credits to her name. She is perhaps best remembered in film for playing Wendy McKim in the 1953 classic Genevieve as well as playing Mrs Waterbury in another classic The Railway Children. Her best role on television was playing Angela Latimer in the classic BBC sitcom Don't Wait Up, although she has made many guest appearances over the years in several television programmes. She is a very underrated actress and a legend of some sort in her own way. Dinah has never received any official recognition whatsoever during her career and we feel it is time she did. As she is approaching the age of 90 it would be nice for Dinah to receive some official recognition while she is still alive. She won't be around forever you know.

Please take this petition very seriously.
