So very sad to hear the news yesterday that Jean Fergusson has passed. Jean, known to millions as "Marina" from "Last Of The Summer Wine" & "Coronation Street" was a glorious Fairy in Pantomimes, and a dear friend. I've known Jean since I was fifteen, from her days at Swansea Rep, and what a wonderful and powerful actress she was. She kept the memory of Hilda Baker alive through her book and stage productions of "She Knows Y'Know". Bless you Jean, a lovely lady sadly missed.
