    I've just watched Nearest And Dearest and I'm currently watching Not On Your Nellie. She was a brilliant actress and I loved her phrases. There'll never be anyone like her. RIP Hylda x

    What a true star she was! It's really sad that only a handful of people attended her funeral. I can't understand it... The same thing happened at Wilfrid Brambell's funeral. And yet, now, how much we give to have even a 5 minute chat with them! Rest in peace, Hylda. Dawn xxx

    Hilda spent time living in Bexley Village when she was at the end of her career. I was a little boy of five and would see her in the street while she was out doing her shopping.
    She was unfailingly kind and always talked to my mum and talked to me too. A real talent.

    What a wonderful and very talented Woman She was. I always loved her from the first moment I saw her on television. My Mother used to copy a few of her catchphrases, and make everyone laugh. I'm currently watching 'Not on your Nellie'. And plan to revisit 'Nearest and Dearest' soon. What joy Hilda brought, and still brings.

      Glad you mentioned that Mullard guy. Was he ever brought to task? To be honest the first and last time i read about it was in the News of The World i think, must have been over 35 years since?
      I felt so sorry for his then adult daughter as im not sure she was believed.

    @macvoutie You have missed some gems.
    Hylda was in Saturday night and Sunday morning, She played an abortionist in something else (not sure if that was the film Poor Cow) and she played the undertaker's wife opposite Leonard Rossiter in the musical "Oliver" which also starred Ron Moody as Fagin.
    Not to mention all the TV things.
    She was a good looking woman in her earlier years - weren't we all.

    Hylda had sad personal life. She suffered ectoptic pregnancy and numerous miscarriages - in later life she gave her love to her pet monkeys.
    Try get hold of the book written by Jean Ferguson (actress in Last of the Summer Wine.
    My great aunt told me Hylda was my cousin but she was actually second cousin of my second cousin who coincidentally died 2 weeks ago.
    Hylda's Aunt Florence married man called Dawber, this man's sister Jane married Henry Bullough who was my second cousin's Gdad.

    @jacksugden8190 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seen her in some serious films, but here not certain whether to laugh at her, or laugh with her, she was unusual in Nearest & Dearest, she sometimes forgot her lines, no one knew or understood her dementia illness, that why Jimmy Jewell couldn’t get with her on set, as he had to push her to remember her lines, they would argue behind the studio sets at Granada, all history now loosing Hilda and Jimmy.
