Sadly, to me her presence in a Carry On film usually meant it was one of the not very good ones :(

Yeah, no, that's not what I meant, and I certainly didn't mean they were bad films just because of her presence.

It just seemed that she was in the not very good ones - generally set in "the present", rather than the best ones (Screaming, Up the Khyber, Cleo).

Tributes from fellow actors focus on what a warm supporting presence she was in productions.
One of those regularly overlooked qualities.

There are those who do great Hamlet / Opehlia.
There are those whose spirit cements the whole production together.
