Born in Kensington, London the only child of Perceval, a barrister, and Agnes Vera Hayman (nee Kennedy). The family relocated to Nelson in Lancashire when Hayman was still young before moving again to Cheltenham where Hayman was educated at Cheltenham Ladies College. Hayman attended local drama classes before going to the Royal Academy of Music and gaining a qualification in teaching. After repertory work in the theatre, she made her film début in The Belles of St Trinians (1954) in an uncredited role as a sixth former. In a touring production of The Importance of Being Earnest she played a parlour maid and was the understudy for Margaret Rutherford, who was cast as Lady Bracknell. The two women became very close and Hayman supported Rutherford in her last years. Predominantly appearing in comedy, Hayman became the foil for many famous comedians including Sid James, Tommy Cooper, Dick Emery, Les Dawson and Morecambe and Wise. Hayman appeared in the Doctor Who serial The Dæmons (1971), Steptoe and Son, Love Thy Neighbour, The Young Ones, One Foot In The Grave, Sez Les, Clarence (1988) , The Liver Birds (1971) and in the 1986 Duty Free Christmas special.
