Ex-EastEnder 'dying of cancer'

Former EastEnders star Wendy Richard is dying of cancer, she has revealed.

The 65-year-old, who played Pauline Fowler in the BBC One soap, said she would marry her long-term partner before starting chemotherapy.

Richard has fought off breast cancer twice but in January was diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease which has spread to a kidney and her bones.

I first saw her on Are You Being Served? so it was really difficult to shake that image of her playing the dolly bird when I started watching EastEnders.

Best wishes to her and her loved ones.

BenPanced, thanks for posting this. I was/am a huge fan of Are You Being Served? Sad to see Miss Brahms going.
Mr. Humphries (can't think of the actor's name offhand) died recently. I know the show was a long time ago. It's another marker for the passage of time.

I echo your best wishes for her family and friends.

She'll always be Miss Brahms to me. Are you free, Miss Brahms? Yes, I'm free Mrs. Slocombe.
