The BBC website has just announced that the UK actress June Whitfield has died. In the statement, her agent said she died peacefully in her sleep Friday night (28/12).
She had a long career appearing on stage and screen here in the UK with shows such as Terry & June, Hancock, the Carry On film series and she even popped up in an episode of Eastenders but is best known internationally as Edina's mum in Absolutely Fabulous.
This is shitty news to hear. I grew up watching her on TV and she will be missed. R.I.P. and thanks for all the laughs June.
