Florrie Dugger, born Florence Elizabeth Dugger, entered the world on a United States Air Force base in Chicksands, Bedfordshire, England. Growing up in a military family meant that her childhood was shaped by discipline, structure, and frequent relocations. These experiences exposed her to diverse cultures and environments, providing a unique foundation that influenced both her personality and her approach to life before stepping into the entertainment world.
She rose to fame at the age of 13 when she was cast as Blousey Brown in the 1976 musical film Bugsy Malone, directed by Alan Parker. The film featured an all-child cast portraying a whimsical version of gangsters during Prohibition-era America, blending musical numbers with imaginative storytelling. Blousey Brown became a central character, and Florrie’s performance left a lasting impression on audiences for its charm, warmth, and vocal talent.
