Happy birthday, Elizabeth!

Comedienne Josephine Tewson, born February 26, 1931 in London, has been acting since the late 50's, but she is probably best known for her role as the nervous, oppressed next-door neighbor Elizabeth to Hyacinth Bucket (prounced "bouquet") on Keeping Up Appearances.  Afterwards she starred as the librarian in Last of the Summer Wine.

She is at least the fourth cast member of Keeping Up Appearances to celebrate a birthday in February!

Geoffrey Hughes born 1944

Versatile and comedic actor, Geoffrey Hughes, born February 2, 1944 in Cheshire, England, is probably best known as  Hyacinth's white trash brother-in-law on Keeping Up Appearances from 1990-1995.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1996 but recovered.  It returned in 2010 and he had to retire from acting.  He passed away July 2012 on the Isle of Wight.
