Knight was born in Marylebone, London. She is the daughter of Esmond Knight and his first wife, Frances Clare, and the stepdaughter of Actress Nora Swinburne.

An earlier film role, albeit uncredited, was as a lady-in-waiting in Laurence Olivier's film Richard III (1955), which also starred her father. She performed in two early Carry On films.
