BITS AND BUSES...............................ON THE BUSES #58: JANET BROWN ROUTE 1Janet Brown was one of Brighton’s most famous impersonators. Born inRutherglen, near Glasgow in 1923, Janet performed in variety shows forWorld War Two soldiers, including future stars Tony Hancock and FrankieHowerd. She then went on to work for BBC Radio Scotland and marriedPeter Butterworth, who would later star in Carry On films.Although she started impersonating celebrities such as Jessie Matthews inthe 50s, her most famous character, Margaret Thatcher, first appeared onITV’s The Eamonn Andrews Show, soon after Thatcher became leader of theConservative Party in 1975. Janet’s Thatcher proved popular, appearing on BBC’s Mike Yarwood Show, acomedy album titled Iron Lady: The Coming of the Leader, and the 1981 James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only.An obituary in The Scotsman describes her performances as ‘cool and incisive… combining a fine vocaldelivery with a detailed study of the Thatcher mannerisms’. The impersonation was mostly affectionatehowever; Janet was a Conservative and portrayed Thatcher as ‘an individual character with an independentmind’. Thatcher once asked Janet to tea at Downing Street in fact, and to stay the weekend at Chequers.Janet died in a nursing home in Hove in May 2011, aged 87, and was buried alongside her husband PeterButterworth, in Danehill Cemetery.
