Lorraine was born in South-east London and initially earned her living as a model.
The cockney beauty was notorious for her lengthy black hair and in a modelling snap from 1979, a then 28-year-old Lorraine can be seen sporting an incandescent glow and lengthy pins.
The 70s were a pivotal decade for the rising star, who received national attention when she starred in a famous TV ad for alcohol brand Campari.
Thus, a star was born.

Fresh from making her Emmerdale debut, the then 51-year-old star stunned onlookers by wearing a corseted leather dress with a thick gold cross on a chain around her neck.
She wore her glamorous locks straight over her shoulders while posing for photos on the event’s red carpet, finishing her look with a black-and-gold chainmail shoulder bag.
