Surprised that no one has mentioned her passing.She died late last night aged 90[just]She appeared in many roles but will always be remembered as Hilda Ogden of Corrie fame.R.I.P.

Also in Last of the Summer Wine.

Remember watching her in Corrie when I was a nipper.
90 is a good age :y

Remember her well from Corrie years ago, a good actress 90 a decent age.

Childhood memories----realise how old im getting when people pass on :(
-
I thought she was about 200yrs old in the 70s
Was surprised when I saw it on news earlier that she had still been with us
-
A superb actress. Seeing clips of her today reinforced just how utterly crap soaps are these days.
-
I thought she'd dropped of the perch about thirty or forty years ago.

Everybody knows / knew a Hilda Ogden
Mine was my grandma (dads side)
Hard as nails / took no prisoners on the outside
Soft as shit on the inside with a heart of gold :)
RIP Jean
A part of British TV folk law :(

I may have watched the episode where the Doctor retired to Lytham St. Annes, and Hilda went with him to keep house.
Jean, was born in Toxteth (as is Toxic Death) and Retired to Southport, where she would have been totally anonymous.

Mr Gonards hits the nail on the head. A type of British character that may never happen again. The generation that had seen War, gone from Mangles and tin baths to PCs and Tablets. May she rest in peace.

Not anonymous newPOD. She lived quietly just around the corner from me and did a lot of local charity and help work. She used to buy all her vegetables from a local Autism charity's market garden at one time, where my wife and I bumped into her frequently. She was a delightful person.
My firm did some work for her many years ago on a day when there was a partial eclipse of the Sun mid afternoon. She insisted we stopped work and produced old fashioned tea and cakes, and sat with us in the middle of her rear garden watching the event with protective glasses, which she provided, and chatting and putting the world to rights. A lovely, totally unpretentious, lady from an era when people respected one another. RIP Miss Alexander.
