ENGLISH COMEDY ACTRESS MOLLIE SUGDEN, 86, HAS PASSED AWAY TODAY AFTER A LONG ILLNESS. THE YORSHIRE-BORN STAR DIED IN THE ROYAL SURREY HOSPITAL IN GUILDFORD THIS AFTERNOON. HER TWIN SONS, ROBIN AND SIMON MOORE, WERE AT HER BEDSIDE, ACCORDING TO HER LONGTIME AGENT JOAN REDDIN.
MOLLIE SUDGEN IS CONSIDERED ONE OF BRITAIN'S TOP COMEDY ACTRESSES, AND A QUICK LOOK AT HER IMPRESSIVE LIST OF CREDITS CERTAINLY ADDS MORE THAN JUST A LITTLE JUSTIFICATION TO THAT CLAIM. FOR MANY YEARS MOLLIE SEEMED TO PLAY EVERYONE'S MUM -- SHE PLAYED JIMMY CLITHEROE'S MOTHER IN JUST JIMMY, TERRY SCOTT'S MOM IN SON OF THE BRIDE, CHRISTOPHER BLAKE'S MUM IN THAT'S MY BOY, ROBIN NEDWELL'S MUM IN DOCTOR IN CHARGE, JUST TO NAME A FEW -- ADDED TO THAT ARE SUBSTANTIAL ROLES IN HUGH AND I, UP POMPEII AND ONE OF THE BEST SOAP OPERAS CORONATION STREET. BUT IT IS AS MRS SLOCOMBE IN THE BBC TELEVISION SERIES ARE YOU BEING SERVED? THAT MOLLIE SUDGEN HAS LEFT HER MOST ENDEARING MARK ON THE CONSCIOUSNESS ON THE TELEVISION AUDIENCE AND AMASSED A WORLDWIDE FOLLOWING OF DEVOTED FANS AND ADMIRERS. TRULY MOLLIE SUDGEN WILL BE MISSED . . .
