I'm pretty sure that when the original was cast, they had cut the song for the grandma and she kicked off. |

you'd think, under the circumstances, that Biggins would spell her name right.

Great loss to the theatre. She was as you all have said one of the best granny's in Billy Elliot. I also remember her in My Fair Lady at the National. A real scene stealer in that great show Betty Blue Eyes and such a lovely lady to meet when I got the cast cd of Betty at Dress Circle.
Such a sad loss.

So sad to hear of a passing today from Baz.
But I think it would be fair to say she has finally put her feet up, who proved that age was just a number.
A cracking actress in Billy Elliot and Betty Blue Eyes.
i will miss her.

Just discovered that I'd have seen her in Martin Guerre too...
She was also in her brother's shows on TV for a long time, looking a bit different from Grandma, dancing, dancing...
