- She was diagnosed with colon cancer in July 2013. The doctors gave her a good prognosis. However, in September 2014 she revealed the cancer had spread to her liver and lungs and she had planned to stop chemotherapy in November.
- Known also for playing the mother of the Oxo family in a series of commercials.
- She was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2014 Queen's New Year Honours List for voluntary service to Charitable Giving in the UK.
- From 2007 to 2011, she was a regular panellist on the daytime chat show Loose Women (1999). She later regretted this as she felt it made people think of her as a TV personality instead of an actress.
- Was born to an unwed teenager, Marjorie Hughes, in Canada and subsequently adopted by an English couple, the Bellinghams, at 4 months old.
- Women over 60 are considered past it. We don't have a life, we're supposed to sit around and wait for death I think. Once you've had your children, and brought them up you supposedly have no other purpose in life. And let's face it the media is only just beginning to catch on. I've been banging on about it for ages, but there's a huge audience of women over a certain age that television ignores. Where are the programmes?
- [talking about the book she has written about her battle with terminal colon cancer, and her decision to stop chemotherapy so she can spend one final Christmas at home with her family] It will be very embarrassing if I *don't* die, because everybody will think I've made it all up to sell the book!
- [talking about her plans for her final Christmas, on the women's magazine programme "Loose Women" a few days before she died, in a programme that was shown as a tribute just after her death] I *am* going to make it to Christmas. Bloody right, I am. I AM!
- [on A Little Bit of Respect (1974)] I did a comedy series where Norman Wisdom, bless his little cotton socks, said, "We're going to do this scene now where I drop a pencil down the front of your dress and I look for it." "Oh, I see, is that funny?" "Oh, it'll be hysterical." So for ten minutes I stood there while he basically touched me up and you couldn't say anything because he was the master of comedy. And actually this was what women were there for, the joke was all about women. And I found it very depressing in the sense that I'd gone to drama school, burned my bra for women's lib and equality and there I was doing these bizarre things.
