Barbara Windsor

Sad how she's ended up. I enjoyed her appearances in Carry On films.

I didn't see the Ross Kemp documentary that he made about dementia but I heard he was in tears hearing about her struggle.

What are your thoughts on Barbara?

Big knockers

They are small though. That's almost the unspoken joke in the Carry Ons.

No one said "Get Ourra My Pub" with as much gusto.

She liked the Krays

she owns dolly boobs parton.

Alzheimer's is a wicked disease. Dreadful seeing anyone inflicted with it.

Carry On films were great. One of the iconic British TV characters.

Always thought it was cool how she married a Mitchell.

Sexual Chocolate

I seen the Ross Kemp documentary or her segment at least and I really feel for her husband and what they are both going through.

She really must be in the advanced stages as her husband didn't what her to appear on camera.

Dementia/Alzheimer's is a cnut of a illness and I respect anyone who deals with somebody who has it on a daily basis.

Loved hearing her iconic voice as the dormouse in Alice in Wonderland

This is it

Didn't realise she suffered from dementia. It's an awful thing for the person, and for those around them. Loved her in the Carry On movies.

Without showing my age, when I was really young we used to have these records with her and other actors reading fairy tales, every time I hear her voice I just get wiped out with nostalgia for home and been young and sitting around with the sibs listening to these.. records were pretty obsolete even then, so it was a thrill that dad would pull it the record player just to hear these.... seriously I’m not that old.

Dementia is perhaps the most odd and most fascinating of illnesses. We already knew that the brain was a strange device, but to allow you to have your sensory and motor skills, and deprive you of your personal life? Oh boy, that's a special kind of cruelty.

Some hack is feverishly writing her obituary right now.

"Thanks for the mammaries" will no doubt feature.

Uncle Junior's (from The Sopranos) dad gave him some good advice: "He told me 'never grow old' "

Boss Of Bosses

She was married to the Bold Ronnie Knight, East End Gangster and one of the Knight brothers. His book gives a very close account of their marriage and her character. He says she was career obsessed. Also says she was a nympho... But who knows, people like him rarely speak the truth.
All being said she was a great actress and entertainer and may she battle on..

ILoveYourVibes

She seemed like a fun warm sensitive lady.

I always remember after the Irish episodes of east enders ..she came on Irish tv and said to the audience on the late late ..
'Do you forgive us for the Irish episodes?' ...very sweetly.

Quantum Erasure

always think someones after dying when it's just the persons name in the thread title...

Sad to hear she ended up with dementia, her tits might have got her noticed in the carry on films. but she act, she could do comedy and drama very well.

Poor Babs.

Reminds me of how sad I felt that Sophia from The Golden Girls couldn’t recall ever being on the show for the last few years of her life.

If you can, check out "Babs" from 2017 (I think it might be on Netflix).

Good drama doc about Ms Windsor. Canny girl, quite a life lived.
