During the 1940s and 1950s, she became a leading singer of the day, singing at the Dorchester Hotel and the Savoy Hotel. Coupland also dubbed the singing voices of actresses who could not sing, namely Lana Turner in Betrayed and most famously in the James Bond film Dr. No, where she dubbed the singing voice of Ursula Andress when singing on the beach "Under the mango tree".
Coupland got her big break in 1971 when she achieved television fame as Jean Abbott, the long-suffering wife of Sid James's character, in Bless This House. This role continued until James' death in 1976.
