Default Wendy Richard dies after battle with cancer

If you don't want to post a comment/message of sympathy regarding Wendy's death, or don't like these kind of threads, then ignore it.

This is NOT an opportunity for people to vent their bile about other people afflicted with this terrible disease, or the validity of these kind of threads.

Terrible shame, and although not the best actress out there, certainly iconic.
In the same year the shop Are You Being Served was based on, close due to the recession.

RIP

Best remembered for her role in Are You Being Served.

Another sad loss to a terrible disease.

But we're not allowed to talk about the other one whatsoever in the same thread when it's blatantly completely related to the subject/topic.

Some of the clueless cretins on here would have felt sorry for Hitler if he'd had cancer
You posted a thread to get a rise, you got one. What are you moaning about?

To be honest I haven't commented either way on your post.

I think all people are trying to say is respect this post for what it is - the news that Wendy Richards has passed away.

If you want to write about anyone / anything else start another thread. No one is stopping you...

And I don't think my husband would agree with any of the three weak mind / will or character!

Rest in Peace, Wendy.

Your portrayal of Pauline Fowler as a perplexed and indecisive, loving and caring mother will be long remembered.

RIP.

I met her a few years ago and she was a right old bag, but a character.

Pretty much just as she was in Eastenders towards the end actually.

Took about ten minutes before I got the first joke,

Her new series, "Are you being Preserved", its sad she has died but its a good play on words, I suspect she would have appreciated that.

I did rather fancy her in the 70's!!

Sad to hear about anyones death - those in the limelight stay in the limelight, even after death.

If it makes us stop and think about how lucky we are, then the reminder is worth while ..... life is short, make the most of each day!

I was very sorry to hear of her death. I think she was a good actress and I remember her in "Are you being Served" as an essential character in an entertaining show, as well as being highly watchable.
