{{Use dmy dates|date=September 2015}}{{Use British English|date=September 2015}}Renée Houston (24 July 1902 – 9 February 1980) was a Scottish comedy actress and revue artist who appeared in television and film roles.[1]

Born in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, as Katherina Houston Gribbin[2] she toured music halls and revues with her sister Billie Houston as the "Houston Sisters".[3]

In 1926, the sisters made a short musical film, the script of which Renée had written. It was produced by Lee De Forest, whose process, Phonofilm, enabled a soundtrack to be played alongside the film (a year before The Jazz Singer).[4][5][6]

Houston married three times, the second was to the actor Pat Aherne, the brother of Brian Aherne.[7] Her third husband was the actor Donald Stewart.[8]

In her later years, she specialised in "battleaxe" roles, notably as shop steward Vic Spanner's (Kenneth Cope) formidable mother in Carry On at Your Convenience (1971).[9] She also worked for director Roman Polanski in Repulsion (1965) and Cul-de-sac (1966).[10][11] She published her autobiography in 1974 which was entitled Don't Fence Me In.[12]

Houston was also in the early episodes of radio's The Clitheroe Kid and a regular guest on radio panel show The Petticoat Line chaired by Anona Winn.[13][14]

She died in London at the age of 77 on 9 February 1980.
