Susan Littler (31 December 1947 – 11 July 1982) was an English actress who appeared in many television and stage productions in the 1970s and early 1980s, before her career was cut short by her premature death. A versatile and respected actress, Littler is perhaps best remembered for her BAFTA-nominated role in the 1977 BBC Play for Today production Spend, Spend, Spend (1977), directed by John Goldschmidt. Her film career included roles in the 1973 film version of The Lovers, and Rough Cut (1980) starring Burt Reynolds.
Born in Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire, Littler trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London and started her career working in repertory in provincial theatres around Britain, including Bolton, Darlington, Plymouth and Nottingham. She made her first television appearance in a 1970 ITV Playhouse production Don't Touch Him, He Might Resent It, followed by Another Sunday and Sweet F.A. (1972), a Jack Rosenthal football-based drama also for ITV. During the early 1970s, Littler played roles of varying sizes in several of the most popular British TV shows of the time, including the soap operas Coronation Street and Emmerdale Farm, police dramas Z-Cars, Softly, Softly: Taskforce and New Scotland Yard, comedies The Liver Birds and Porridge, and prison drama Within These Walls. More substantial roles came in Trinity Tales (1975), Alan Plater's contemporary reworking of The Canterbury Tales and marriage guidance serial Couples (1975–76).
