Vinegar Tits 606 Posted April 23, 2023 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). 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,044 Posted April 24, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
