Look how Les's little girl grew up: Comic's daughter who can gurn like her dad pictured out on the town
Radiant: Charlotte Dawson, the daughter of deceased English comedian Les Dawson, is pictured celebrating her 21st birthday in Liverpool
As Charlotte Dawson approaches her 20th birthday, the father she lost when she was a baby would undoubtedly be proud of how his little girl has grown up.
The model and budding actress was eight months old when comedian Les Dawson died from a heart attack.
On Saturday evening she was celebrating a friend’s birthday in Liverpool, declaring beforehand that she was preparing for a ‘ladies’ night’ by having a ‘big curly blow dry’.
Pictures of her smiling in a
tight-fitting dress revealed that she had been as good as her word.
When
Les Dawson died in 1993, his widow Tracy put a life-size cut-out of the
comedian in their daughter’s nursery, played his TV shows to her, and
persuaded her to lift her spoon heavenwards before she ate to give her
father a taste.
Speaking about her father, Miss Dawson, who will be 20 on October 3, has said: ‘I’m so proud to have him as a dad and proud of his success.’
She
revealed that she shares a sense of humour with the man who was one of
Britain’s most-loved comedians, famous for his mother-in-law jokes and
hilarious portrayal of a disapproving northern housewife.
She can even gurn like him, saying: ‘I can do all his faces and I look a lot like him, really.’
Miss Dawson has described her mother as her best friend, but admits she found it difficult growing up without her father.
‘I have found it hard because I think I would probably be a daddy’s girl,’ she said.
‘But my mum has tried her best to be my mum and my dad at the same time.’
