Gail Harrison - Actress

The rather underrated actress, Gail Harrison, was also an accomplished equestrienne, and, consequently, throughout her main 1970s / 1980s acting career she frequently managed to secure numerous character parts that required the actual ability of a bit of horseback riding.

I first noticed Gail Harrison, as a young boy, way back in 1972, when she played the role of Marian Wilkes in the Yorkshire Television soap opera, Emmerdale Farm.

Two other television / film roles in which Gail can be seen clad in horse riding apparel include the, 1983 to 1990, spoof historical drama tv series, Brass, and the 1988 Granada mini-drama series, Game, Set and Match.

Posted below are seven more colour photographs of the stunningly attractive actress Gail Harrison, who played the character part of Marian Wilkes (1972 - 1978) in the Yorkshire Television soap opera, Emmerdale Farm.

Absolutely brilliant detective work Mr Gorringe, as ever! What a gorgeous woman she was; and in proper boots!

Here are six more still photographs of the absolutely stunningly attractive actress, Gail Harrison, that were apparently all taken during the filming of Emmerdale Farm, back in 1972.

Posted below is a 1972 monochrome photograph that was actually taken on the outside filming set of Emmerdale Farm, the Yorkshire Television soap opera series.

It would appear that they might have, occasionally, even used a Gail Harrison stunt double, to actually perform of the more dangerous horseback riding scenes.
