Sunny Rogers

Sunny Rogers (10 May 1913 – 30 December 2005) was an English entertainer best known for her work with comedian Frankie Howerd.

Rogers began as a dancer at the Trocadero in London and then joined the Tiller Girls; she went on from there to become a choreographer and producer of floor shows.

With her deadpan comedy expression, she became the long-suffering sidekick of Frankie Howerd, a role she played for over 35 years.

She was his accompanying pianist who would be continually mocked by the comedian ("She's deaf you know - can't hear a word - poor old soul!").

After Frankie Howerd died in 1992, Sunny retired to Brighton, Sussex, where she continued to help show business charities.
