Diana Coupland, born Betty Diana Coupland, (5 March 1928 -- 10 November 2006), was a British actress best known for playing Jean Abbott in ''Series/BlessThisHouse''.
Growing up she had hoped to be a ballet dancer but was unable to fulfill her dream after a horse-riding accident. By the age of 15, she started a singing career. After being heard by Barney Colehan, one of Creator/TheBBC's producers, she began appearing on the radio. Three years later, she was singing in Leeds at the Mecca Locarno, and a year later, moved to London to sing at Mecca's Tottenham Court Road ballroom.
In 1953, she appeared in the opening scene of ''Flannelfoot'' as a [[CastTheExpert nightclub singer]]. Her TV debut was in 1961, in an episode of ''Emergency – Ward 10''. After years of guest shots and bit parts, she was cast as Jean Abbott in ''Bless This House'', which ran from 1971 until the death of her on-screen husband Creator/SidJames in 1976. Coupland also returned as Jean in the [[TheMovie 1972 film spin-off]].
In 1973, Coupland starred alongside Creator/RegVarney in ''The Best Pair of Legs in the Business'', playing his disillusioned wife, Mary Sheridan. After the death of one of the actors in ''Triangle'' before the series was due to be filmed, Coupland was cast at short notice as Marion Carter (later Marion Terson). Another notable role following this included a six-week stint as Maureen Carter in ''Series/EastEnders'' in 2000.
She died after an operation at the age of 78.
