Actress Wendy Richard born 1943

Wendy Richard, born July 20, 1943, was one of the longest-running actresses on the British series Eastenders, but she will also be remembered as the sweet, ditzy Miss Brahms on Are You Being Served?

She remained close friends with her Are You Being Served? castmates.  She died in 2009 from cancer just months before Mollie Sugden passed away.

Mrs Slocombe (Mollie Sugden) born in 1922

Mollie Sugden, born on July 21, 1922, is probably most beloved for her role as the plucky Mrs. Slocombe in the British comedy "Are You Being Served?"  She appeared in all 69 episodes of the sitcom, set in Grace Brothers Department Store, along with Frank Thornton (Capt. Peacock), John Inman (Mr. Humphreys), Wendy Richard (Miss Brahms) and Nicholas Smith (Mr. Rumbold).  All five of them starred in the 1977 movie as well.

Mollie passed away July 1, 2009, just months after her friend and co-star Wendy Richard died.
