…she was still alive? I had assumed she had passed long ago. But she was 86 so I guess that makes sense.

And I am unanimous in that.  
Bad, bad day for the great 20th century character actors.

Just heard this myself.

I think the only one left alive is Captain Peacock.  
I’m sure he knows how to look after a late pussy.

Apparently, Mollie liked driving fast cars. When in her seventies, she was persuaded to trade in her Porsche after being pulled in for doing 92 mph.

Also, she claimed to receive excellent service from shop assistants.

RIP.

At least Mr. Humphries and Mr. Grainger will have good company in that Big Store in the sky. She was a marvelous actress.

For those of us that aren’t familiar with her work, can someone summarize the bit about her pussy?

Very sad, though I can’t say I’m too shocked. I didn’t realize Wendy Richard had already died though! Also very sad, especially as she was much younger and apparently was a victim of breast cancer.

I remember seeing Mollie Sugden doing a pledge drive pitch on the local PBS station in the 90s. As I recall, she was actually in the local studio, not just doing some prerecorded bit. I was surprised, since it wasn’t a big station. She seemed quite charming.

It’s her cat she’s talking about…not her naughty bits.
