IMAGES of BBC’s Call the Midwife star Judy Parfitt have resurfaced from earlier in her career – and she looks completely unrecognisable.
The 86-year-old, best known for her appearances as Sister Monica Joan on the hit BBC series, has been a familiar face among viewers since 2012.

However, those unaware of her before the show, will be stunned to see resurfaced pics from earlier in her career.
The jaw-dropping snaps from the ’60s and ’70s show a younger Judy in some of her earlier productions, such as the TV show Public Eye and But The Jones’s Never Get Letters.
In one image, Judy appears as a fresh-faced 31-year-old in 1966, showcasing her long, luscious brown hair and beaming smile.
The next shot was from the following year as she starred alongside legendary actor Jeremy Brett in the drama titled Quite an Ordinary Knife.
The third photo jumps forward a few years to 1971 as she is seen in an action shot with big hair and a floral shirt.
Before appearing on Call the Midwife, Judy had forged a very successful on-screen career.
She also starred in classics such as Murder She Wrote and had a short stint on ITV‘s Midsomer Murders in 2008.

While Call The Midwife continues to be a hugely popular series, Judy has previously opened up on her belief that the newest series will be the last.
Speaking to Radio Times previously about her role as the kindhearted Sister, she said: “I think it’ll probably end after the next series. I imagine that’s what they’re thinking of doing.
“Mind you, there’s not an awful lot on the BBC compared to what there used to be.”
