Hadn’t heard of any of things the quote mentions. However I do remember her from recently rewatching At Home with Braithwaites and subsequently recognised her in a rerun of The Queen. I think I assumed after watching given how old she looked then, she’d already be dead, so I imagine she’ll be happy that she lived so long.

I remember her popping up in Dictionary Corner on Countdown a fair bit in the ‘90s.

At first the only thing I remember her in was Ice Cold In Alex then I remembered she was in The Queen. She was a classical beauty and a damn good actress.RIP.
