Rosalind Knight, who has died aged 87, was born into a show business family and quickly made her own impression on screen in the early Carry On films.
She first played the hapless, short-sighted Student Nurse Nightingale in Carry On Nurse (1959), the second in the series, seen keeping vigil over an unconscious patient and watching his drip feed with great intensity – before losing her glasses in a hospital sluice.
