The deaD of 2023

Recommended Posts

Maria Charles, probably best known as Maureen Lipman's mother in 'Agony', has apparently died. Posted from a usually very reliable Facebook group.

 

She ought to get an obit as she was the go-to Jewish mother until Maureen Lipman and Lesley Josrph got older, plus had a very distinguished stage career too.  (And she's a unique pick for me).

I thought she died years ago.

I remember Maria Charles mainly for two roles - her turn in Bar Mitzvah Boy which I think nearly everyone watched and as Windsor Davies' cleaner in Never The Twain.

 

She never made it on to any of my teams as (i) she could easily have died off radar yonks ago and (ii) her chances of being overlooked for a QO (possible still) - been bitten there before.

 

I know, wrong of me probably on both counts, but I do like to know they are still alive when I'm picking them.

No mention here? Strictlys Len Goodman gave up the ghost couple days back at 78. His name said it all if I'm honest and they will all miss him at farmfoods :clap:

They're probably one of the nitwits that think every death has to be mentioned on this thread, regardless of being mentioned elsewhere

Speaking as one of the above mentioned nitwits:

These threads are entitled "The Dead Of [Year]", not "Other Deaths of [Year] That Are Not Mentioned Elsewhere".

Some random guy by the name of Randor Guy died on April 23, apparently he's a film historian from India. Just another one of those unusual names who died that I thought I'd mention.

Was tempted to pick her for Slippery Soap due to her Corrie stint as Blanche Hunt`s feisty best friend who was besotted with Ken and left Eccles the dog to Blanche but she was in her 90`s so I figured fewer points plus I thought she wouldn't be a unique for me (and I was right)

American burlesque dancer Toni Elling (Wikidead at 94

 

 

To be fair, she retired from the titty tassells 49 years ago, so a former burlesque dancer.
