I remember a programme I watched about Barbara Windsor and how she got one of her first acting roles: she walked into the theatre or wherever she was having her audition and she saw a cleaner and she chatted away to her. The cleaner was Joan Littlewood who was the theatre director who was producing the play she was auditioning for. Joan Littlewood said afterwards that Barbara got the role from her conversation with the 'cleaner'.
