Betty Driver is a British National Treasure. Having begun her career in the music hall, Betty soon became one of Britain's best loved singing stars making countless records and hosting her own radio and television variety shows. Throughout the 1940s, Betty became a prolific presence on radio, singing with the top dance bands of the era. She was also known for her work for ENSA entertaining the troops stationed at home and abroad.

During this period Betty also starred in three feature films Penny Paradise, Let's Be Famous and Facing The Music.

After performing on stage since the age of 11 and releasing records since 1935, Betty retired from singing and concentrated on television, starring in numerous television plays for the Granada network. In 1969, Betty was cast as Betty Turpin in Granada's 'Coronation Street'. Betty would become synonymous with this character and play her on screen for nearly 2800 episodes.

In 2000, Betty was awarded the MBE in the New Year's Honours List, in the same year her autobiography Betty was published.
