Miguel Sanchez Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Week 49 update One death this week, Barbara Windsor: Dame Barbara Windsor obituary | Barbara Windsor | The Guardian Quote Although physically tiny at 4ft 10in tall, Barbara Windsor, who has died aged 83, was a giant of the British entertainment industry, conquering films, theatre and television in a career that spanned 60 years, 50 of them as a top star. After some notable stage work, Windsor first came to real prominence as a member of the Carry On team for nine hugely popular films starting in 1964 with Carry On Spying. In them she usually played a wide-eyed blonde with a friendly grin, sometimes knowingly sexy and sometimes naive or innocent, but invariably given at some point to what one observer called “the dirtiest laugh in show business”. She identified her appeal with characteristic bluntness: “You could always find a barmaid who looked like me.” Right I need to say something here. She was in a couple of films whose entire appeal was based on sexual innuendo. She was in a soap for a bit. If this is the bar for national treasure in this country then it's no wonder Brexit is a thing. I'm sure she was lovely - and since her dementia diagnosis she had a great effect on awareness of the condition - but I don't get the response on this occasion. As ever when an actor dies I share what I know them from. You're in for a treat if you'd forgotten this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAV8p9EXytE Barbara was 83 when she dies, so she's worth 42 Base Points. The Deadly December bonus ups that to 84, going to @Billy Jean King, @BWAClyde, @cdisaaccie, @gingette, @Perkin Flump, @paulathame, @pawpar and @qos_75, with a Vice-Captain bonus going to @Salvo Montalbano and @Scotty Tunbridge for 105. Big congrats to Montalbano and BWAClyde for escaping the shame of the Zero Pointers list. As a result, the standings now look like this: 1. Bishop Briggs 520 2. JustOneCornetto 464 3.

Sergeant Wilson Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 It seems odd that a no more than fairly attractive woman like Windsor was operated a sex symbol in the Carry Ons, until you remember her leading man was Sid James and was usually beating woman off with a stick. Like discussion on other threads about films, I suppose it's about the suspension of belief. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
