Gordon is a British actress known for leading and cameo roles in many British movies, mainly in the 1960's and 1970's. She also worked with most television and comedy stars of this period. She made her West End theatre debut on a motor bike in The Darling Buds of May and then created the role of Peggy Evans in Neil Simon's Come Blow Your Horn.
