Deadornot 12 Posted July 8, 2005 I see from the Wiki, that she is a cousin of the actor Clive Dunn, no less. Perhaps a bit of family competitiveness might be triggered. She should be immortal then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lospalmas7 12 Posted July 12, 2005 Now it's on the BBC. Gretchen Franklin, known to millions as EastEnders' Ethel Skinner, has died - four days after her 94th birthday. Franklin was an Albert Square fixture from 1985 to 2000, eventually leaving in an euthanasia storyline that saw friend Dot Cotton helping Ethel to die. "I will miss her very much," said actress June Brown, who plays Dot in the BBC soap. "She always soldiered on, never complaining. "She seemed such an indomitable person you felt she would go on forever." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSBfromH 74 Posted July 12, 2005 A very capable actress. Saw her in an episode of "Rising Damp" just the other night playing Rigsby's aunt. The episode was from 1978 and she hardly looked any different! I remember she also played a very good minor part in the very first episode of "The Black Adder" (i.e. "Blackadder" series 1, episode 1) as one of 3 witches.
