Not Being Served
(Kudos to Monty)
Or
Dead Ender
(Stolen shamelessly from Derby Dead Pool, where I am now in 4th)
Cockney tart Wendy Richard has died of breast cancer at the age of 65. The cheeky bird strumpetted her way through the 1960s BBC soap opera The Newcomers and the sex farce Carry On Girls and earned a bit part in Help! For some reason Richard Lester focused on the Fab Four, but her deleted scene is on the DVD special features. She’s best known in the U.S. as Miss Shirley Brahms, the swinging sales girl in ladies wear at Grace Brothers in Are You Being Served? In the UK, she also starred for 22 years as matriarch/heroine Pauline Fowler on one of the Beeb’s longest running and most popular soap The EastEnders, trading the glamorous life for blue-collar drudgery, while her soap diva lifestyle of boozing, marrying and divorcing fed the tabloid beast for years. Fowler was such a TV institution, she even made a cameo in a cross-over with Doctor Who.
