Ulitzer95 11,355 Posted May 14 The crime of the century is the fact that the silly Yank who runs the amateur genarians website hasn't included Gudrun Ure on the 1926 page. I'm seeing that yesterday lots of people were wishing her a happy 98th birthday. Seems to be some confusion as to where she was born in March or May. Perhaps the posts on social media yesterday have confused somebody who thought it said she had died at 98? Who knows... let's just wait and see 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starting to look like it's a hoax. Someone edited her Wiki page after the tweets and FB posts appeared to say that she died in Campsie in Scotland. That's where she was born, but to the best of my knowledge Gudrun Ure has long since lived in the south of England. Would she really move back there to die?

Spade_Cooley 9,101 Posted May 14 Auntie Gudrun's dead? Better get in touch with the Facebook nostalgia meme page immediately, so news of her passing can be sandwiched between "who remembers ice cream vans?" and "bring back hanging". 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You joke but there are a lot of stupid ppl out there who would have that in their mind as a priority. Also, on Facebook, there seems to be a huge collection of boomers who cannot distinguish between news, fake news, sponsored content, official sources and amateur pages etc. They share anything they read without asking themselves a single question about its reliability. Those same ppl presumably think that “Being Scottish” is like the BBC News page but for Scottish ppl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,878 Posted May 14 Died aged 98, in good health well into her nineties, still living in her own home, conversing with family till recently and aware of the public admiration for her famous role. That's about as nice a celebrity death as you'll see tbh. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 19,474 Posted May 14 Let's just say right now, and nothing to do with Gudrun herself, but the day I heard the theme tune was the day I lost all respect for Billy Connolly. That homophobic line came too easily to his lips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
