She was once (allegedly) the girlfriend of Peter Sellers, hence her occasional appearances on The Goon Show in the 1950s. Charlotte Mitchell was married to actor Philip Guard [1] and is the mother of 3 children, actors Christopher Guard [2] and Dominic Guard [3] and animator and novelist Candy Guard [4] [5]. Charlotte lives in West London and continues to be active as a poet [6].

She appeared on BBC Radio with Ian Carmichael in The Small, Intricate Life of Gerald C Potter. Carmichael played Gerald C Potter, mystery writer, while she played Diana, his wife, who, under the pseudonym of Miss Magnolia Badminton, wrote romantic novels.

She also played, on radio, the Dowager Duchess (Lord Peter Wimsey's mother) in the radio adaption of Strong Poison that starred Ian Carmichael as Peter Wimsey. On television, she played Amy the housekeeper in The Adventures of Black Beauty (1972–74).
