British actress Wendy Richard dead at 65
Feb. 26, 2009, 11:51 AM EST
LONDON (AP) -- British actress Wendy Richard, whose four-decade television career included roles as a sexy sitcom shop assistant and a working class matriarch on the soap opera "EastEnders," died Thursday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 65.

She had parts in several of the cheap-and-cheerful "Carry On" film comedies, and in TV shows including "Up Pompeii!" and "The Likely Lads" before becoming famous as Miss Brahms, a staff member of the fictional Grace Brothers department store in 1970s sitcom "Are You Being Served?"

RIP :cry:

3. Watched pretty much every episode of EastEnders
until they took it off the air over here. Felt like I knew her those 20 years.

Bye Pauline Fowler

;(

4. Yes, very sad news
It was only a short time ago that I realized that Miss Brahms



was Pauline Fowler forty years earlier.



She was great in both roles.
