Early life

Windsor was born in Shoreditch, London, in (though her birth was registered in Stepney),[5] the only child of John Deeks, a bus driver, and his wife, Rose (née Ellis), a dressmaker.[6] The family lived on Angela Street.

Her maternal great-grandmother was the daughter of Irish immigrants who fled to Great Britain from Ireland between and in order to escape the Great Famine.[7]

In , at the start of World War II, Windsor's father was called up for the war, so Windsor and her mother went to live with her mother's family in Yoakley Road, Stoke Newington, where Windsor attended St Mary's Infants' School in nearby Lordship Road.[6][8]

Windsor's mother initially refused to let her be evacuated, but conceded after one of Windsor's school friends was killed by a bomb during an air raid.

Aged six, Windsor was evacuated to Blackpool to live with a couple, but they attempted to sexually abuse her.[6] A neighbour heard Windsor's screams and alerted the authorities. The couple were arrested and were found to not be married, but to be brother and sister.

Windsor moved in with a schoolfriend and her parents, although they struggled to cope with her loud behaviour.

They sent Windsor to dancing school, which sparked her interest in performing, although one night after a class, Windsor found her friend's father kissing another woman in a bus shelter. Humiliated by this, Windsor was sent back to London in along with a note from her dance teacher which read: "Barbara is a born show-off who loves to perform."[6]

Impressed by this, Windsor's mother sent her to Madame Behenna's Juvenile Jollities, a drama school at which she appeared in several charity concerts and pantomimes.

After the war, she passed her plus exams, gaining the top mark in North London, and earned a scholarship for a place at Our Lady's Catholic High School, Stamford Hill,[6] although she was expelled because she argued with the reverend mother after the latter refused to let Barbara have time off to appear in a pantomime.

Windsor moved to the Aida Foster School, Golders Green, and took elocution lessons.

When Windsor's father came to watch a performance, she was ridiculed by the others as her father had begun working as a trolley bus conductor and had come in his uniform. Enraged, Windsor covered the girls in theatrical face powder, throwing more over the chaperone who tried to stop her.

After this, Windsor made her television debut when Johnny Brandon, with whom Windsor had starred in Love from Judy, asked her to appear in his television series Dreamer's Highway.

    Windsor later appeared in musical shows Variety Parade, The Jack Jackson Show, and Six-Five Special, regularly singing with bands.
