Born:
October 17, 1960
in
Dublin
Best Known For:
Her singing career.
Early-life:
Bernadette Therese Nolan was born on October 17, 1960, in Dublin. Her family moved to Blackpool two years later, where she eventually attended the local St Catherine's School. She's one of eight children. Her parents, Tommy and Maureen, encouraged their offspring's singing talents, particularly those of their daughters. During the mid-1970s, all-girl band the Nolan Sisters, consisting of the five eldest girls, including Bernie, began performing regularly in clubs before moving onto TV variety shows.
Career:
By 1977, the band were hugely popular, and two years later had their biggest hit, I'm in the Mood for Dancing. Although chart success later dried up, the siblings continued to appear on stage together, and even supported their idol, Frank Sinatra, on tour. Bernie left the group in 1994 to concentrate on her solo career and acting. She's appeared on stage in The Devil Rides Out, City of Angels, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Blood Brothers and Chicago, and on TV in Brookside and The Bill. She died from breast cancer on July 4, 2013 at the age of 52.
Quote:
'I was lucky in that I was only ill once during chemotherapy,' she admits. 'But losing my hair and eyebrows was hard to deal with.'
Trivia:
In 2010, Nolan came second in series one of Popstar to Operastar, behind eventual winner Darius Campbell.

She also appeared in the BBC's 2005 critically acclaimed adaptation of Bleak House.
