Miss Brahms remembers
I came across this recent interview with Wendy Richard, perhaps best remembered Stateside as the cute-but-common Miss Brahms in Are You Being Served:
Many American viewers may not realize that the actress recently ended a 22-year run on British soap EastEnders playing matriarch Pauline Fowler. (EastEnders has aired on several PBS stations on and off throughout the United States.)
One of the interesting things in this piece is the brief glimpse we get of her longtime friendship with Are You Being Served’s Mr. Humphries, John Inman.
“John became a friend and he only lived down the road from me. We’d meet up and have a drink or go for a curry. I used to love going around to his house on his birthday because John would have friends around and I’d sit and listen to all their great showbiz stories.”
