Cathy Lewis
Cathy Lewis was likely best-known as George and Steve Baxter's snobbish sister on Adèle (1961). She played a nemesis of sorts to the show's titular character, Hazel (played by Shirley Booth), the family's busybody domestic who was shunned by Lewis's character (Deirdre Baxter Thompson), an always aspiring socialite who received her self-esteem through the accolades of the upper class, for whose approval and acceptance she yearned. Yet it was Hazel's advice which saved the day.
