Mollie Sugden 1922-2009
I was saddened tonight to hear of the death of that classic comedy actress Mollie Sugden (Christened Mary Isobel Sugden). She was just short of her 87th birthday and had had a career spanning several decades. She was undoubtedly best known for her hilarious portrayal of Mrs Slocombe in the sitcom “Are You Being Served?” in which she was renowned for her double entendres about her pussy. She also appeared in the Liver Birds and Coronation Street, as well as variety of other roles.
Mollie Sugden was a comedy great for whom I have very fond memories.
