I have missed Wendy Richards, seeing her in eastenders as Pauline fowler and in are you being served as miss Brahms. She deserves this award because I feel that she is what made an actress so well done sweetheart
Anyone old enough to remember a hit record in 1962 by Mike sarne call "come outside"? Wendy was singing on that. She has been in so many popular TV programmes over the years including are you being served and Dad's Army. Yes she was a fine actress and is missed from our screens.
I don't watch EastEnders, but i loved her Are You Being Served? She so deserved it, she was a brilliant actress. Can't believe it's been 4 years. RIP Wendy
I read somewhere that she was in an abusive relationship. OMG that really bothered me that anyone, especially this lovely lady, could be abused by a partner. such a beautiful lady and such a talented actress - if this could happen to her, it could happen to anyone. When will we learn? Ditch such idiots in our lives. RIP sweet, talented lady. Thank you for the years of entertainment.
She is what a great actor is all about,, Stay true to your character. That is why she left EE. She knew, as we all knew her character. EE bosses didn't. She was Awesome!! RIP Job Well Done:)
Wendy Richard was a lovely actress, so down to earth, she’s one of Britain’s best character actresses and a national treasure, I hate how the writers turned Pauline into some hardened bitter woman, Wendy hated it too, that’s why she left
Well, we all have to go. It's the law of life. But we are very fortunate and grateful for having had this wonderful actress. Saw her both in Are You Being Served Again and East Enders. Fantastic.
What a superb actress from Are you being served to her her Eastenders role as Pauline, tinged with sadness it’s great to hear and see her. God bless you Wendy. 8/10/2019 🇬🇧
Being from America, we never got to see her in Eastenders, but absolutely loved her in AYBS and Grace and Favor. But OMG!!! I would be on the edge of my seat. I had no idea Wendy Richards could do drama so well. On another note, the AYBS Christmas special “Roots” was not shown in America for many years. When I saw the reason why, I was very impressed with the actress Wendy Richards for not wearing blackface.
An unlikely show for me personally to get hooked on, but I did back a few years after it started and began being showed in the U.S. on Public TV. Sad that now after watching it for around 30 years, they have stopped showing it. I'm terribly far behind as we are around 10 years behind. I can't see how I can pick it up in the future missing all those broadcasts. She was a great actress. Glad she got this award in her lifetime. Well deserved. Rest Easy.... Sad for me to watch as Eastenders appears to be over for me.
There are so many so-called ''celebrities'' these days that when they get even the most basic of a cold have to ram down the throats of everyone and splash it all over the newspapers and social media for months at a time but when Wendy got cancer she was very gracious and quiet about it and didn't want to bother anyone with her troubles! RIP Wendy, a gorgeous lady inside and out.
Love Pauline (Wendy) She Was To EastEnders What Barbara Stanwyck /Victoria Barkley Was To The Big Valley Loved Wendy As Pauline And As Ms Brahms On Are You Being Served 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Wow, to be honest I really didn't like the character that Wendy Richard was playing... Pauline Fowler, but that isn't Wendy's fault. She was written a character to play. Some people go way to far, she was obviously a very dedicated and loved person...
Excuse me that's too far. Wendy was neither any of them words, did you ever have the chance to meet her? I certainly did. She's a very down to earth lady, much different to her EastEnders character, so keep your Thick, vulgar, vile, common, working-class comments to yourself.
You sometimes have to wonder when someone wins an award when they are close to death whether they actually deserved the award or whether it was given because they were dying.
Wendy's cancer returned in 2008. She received this award in 2007, and it was because she had recently departed EastEnders and was with the program from the first episode. She was in good health when given this award. Her health played no factor in this.
katie She was first diagnosed with cancer in 1996 and she was awarded out of sympathy and to make the establishment look good (she could not act anyway).
I don't think she knew - from her reaction in the audience when he was saying the history of the award winner you can see when she realized it was her (e.g. the bit about "been on EastEnders 22 years" etc).
Is it an EE rule that whenever a character listens to 'You don't have to say you love me' you know their death's approaching? The only other instance, apart from Pauline, with this song was when Tina switched it on for Sylvie, shortly before SHE died...
william f Speaking of “roll out the Barrel” I died laughing on Gimme Gimme Gimme when Tom and Linda’s landlady “Beryl” was dead in their lounge and Tom and Linda started singing “Roll Out the Barrel (Beryl!)
Wendy Richard and the rest of them could not even act their way out of a paper bag, but they are all very good at awarding and patting themselves on the back for it.
