caddymanI see that Wendy Richard has died from cancer, aged 65.
The BBC obituary is here.
The 65-year-old was diagnosed last year with an aggressive form of cancer that attacked her kidney and spread to the top of her spine and left ribs. She died yesterday morning at the Harley Street Clinic in central London. Husband John Burns was by her bedside.
All the reports talk about her being mainly known for playing the part of Pauline Fowler in Eastenders, but truly speaking, she will always be Miss Brahms, the hapless foil for Mollie Sugden's Mrs Slocombe in Are You Being Served?:
