Will always remember her for EastEnders.
Perhaps the most famous actor/actress ever on Albert Square and definitely right up there with the very best.
Also, as an avid fan of the Kray twins with almost every single book published on them and film DVD's, her name kept popping up time and time again - in a good sense - with the East End of London becoming more glamarous.
What a life led. It wasn't supposed to end like this after everything she gave to the showbiz world.
RIP Babs. An absolute legend.

This has been another horrible year for celebrity culls!
RIP Babs. As for a lot of young lads of my age, her appearances in carry on films were very close to the edge. She was a quite brilliant actress and played whatever part she had with style and skill.
The BBC drama about her life, which she actually appeared in a few times, was one of the best bits of TV in the last few years. Her off screen relationship with Sid James wasn’t really mentioned, which was a big part of her life and the Krays/ East end gangsters links was also shown, but not over played. Such a shame the actress who played her, who was quite brilliant, lost the signal on breakfast time and we didn’t get to hear her recollections.
It’s very sobering the older you get how those people you grew up watching in the flix and TV start passing away. Does make you think!

Show a bit of respect instead of your willy waving.
Expected better from you. Then again, you are always so cynical about everything and everyone on here.

She was a National Treasure.
I can just imagine her up in heaven now, with Sid James having a ride on his Chopper.

I had a quick look for the clip earlier but couldn’t find it - I think she also says ‘and I’m only sixteen’!
Classic!
Very sad.....real icon from my childhood. We named one of our dogs 'Babs' after her in the 70s. Brilliant actress, down to earth and seems to have had a heart of gold. RIP.

I was staggered to learn that she'd been in a production of The Threepenny Opera with Vanessa Redgrave. Hermione Baddeley and Joe Melia (with Arthur Mullard as one of the crooks). I'd love to have seen that
It shows that she probably had a decent range but, like Harry H Corbett, struggled to get out of comedy. I'm glad that she found a home in Albert Square in later life

RIP Babs , brilliantly played by Jaime Winstone in 2017 that was shown last night. Her initial confrontation on set with a bearded Kenneth Williams after he was rude to her......' She knew he hated Fenella Fielding, so she said to him, ''Ere you, don't you have a go at me with Fenella Fielding's minge hair round yer chops. I won't stand for it .
