I loved Mollie Sugden.

Karl Malden passed away today, too. Age 97.

Mollie Was the Greatest -

And I am unanimous in that!

I always considered her every bit Carol Burnett's equal, capable of getting a laugh with everything she did. I never got to meet her (and it was not for lack of trying), but I always heard that her kindness to fans was really, really something.

That leaves Frank Thornton (Captain Peacock) and Trevor Bannister (Mr. Lucas) as the only "core" members of the original AYBS? cast remaining.

I'm more upset with Mollie Sugden passing that Michael Jackson...

...and Paul, you beat me to it!

Same here about being more upset about Mollie than Wacko Jacko.

Wonder if she will get more than 1 page in tommorrows tabloids???

Roll on 12.00 tommorrow when Il find out at lunch time in the staff room.

RIP Mollie

She is finally free.

Oh No! This Is Almost Too Much!

Speaking for myself, and I am unanimous, there was no finer!

Wonderful person, great actress, excellent wife, mother and grandmother! Mollie Sudgen will be MISSED.

Fancy going just a few months after Miss. Brahms.

Pace, T'imploro. Pace

And Mr. Humphries too gone.
