Sister George and Entertaining Mr Sloane she was superb .Brilliant comic actress. 🤗

Beryl was entering the final decade of her life at this point. She sadly died on 13th October 1996, aged 77 at a hospital in Buckinghamshire, from complications after knee replacement surgery for arthritis. Audiences simply loved this lady. That's never more obvious than in her appearances on BBC1's 'The Good Old Days'. No matter who was on the bill with her, Bery's performance was guaranteed to bring the house down, she was a fantastic live artists. Thankfully some of her star turns can be found on KZbin. I thought the interviewer here, Denis Tuohy, was superb - well prepared on his subject, and insightful in his questions. I Googled him and he was still going strong in 2021, living in his native Ireland where he'd just published his autobiography.

She was an amazing actress. God bless her

[@glamdolly30]

Oh that sweet face! She is just adorable! I wrote her a fan letter when I was ten, and she sent me such a lovely letter and signed photo back. It came on headed notepaper with her home address printed on it, I've never forgotten it - 'Honeypot Cottage, Wraysbury'. Beryl was a great cat lover and had many in various states of friendliness and feral at Honeypot Cottage, which stood on the River Thames and had round rooms she said were hard to wallpaper! Her autobiography 'So Much Love' is a great read, I highly recommend it. Out of print but available second hand for pennies on Amazon. Beryl never married, which surprised and impressed me. all evidence suggests she liked men very much, but she wanted to keep her independence. A lady ahead of her times! Thanks for this upload - gorgeous memories of a dear, amazing and hugely talented lady, and a British legend, Beryl Reid is much missed.

[@glamdolly30]

Oops, I stand corrected, Beryl was married and divorced twice! Her second divorce happened in 1966 and she remained single and childless the rest of her life, so she was independent as I stated.

[@RockyValentino2013]

Am I correct in thinking she had a cat named Dimly?

[@glamdolly30]

@@RockyValentino2013 That definitely rings a bell, I think you're correct!

[@jeremydicker6613]

Fantastic actor..sister george one of my fav films...

[@davidlondon2810]

So articulate, focused and clear with a real talent for telling humorous stories off the cuff. Truly talented and very versatile. Also, quite steely. No wonder she was able to bring so much complexity, humour and pathos to the unforgettable character Sister George.

[@davidreid8075]

Thanks Beryl..

[@glamdolly30]

Lovely interviewer who asked intelligent, insightful things and quickly established a good rapport. Beryl Reid's philosophy of living in the moment and knowing when you are happy stayed with me after I read her autobiography SO MUCH LOVE many years ago. She recalled a sunny day when she was a child, and she ran up to her beloved mum and said: "Isn't it a beautiful day Mummy?" And her mum replied: "Well you're certainly getting your share of it Beryl". Very sweet - and I think that summed up her life really, she had such a positive outlook on life and grabbed her opportunities as they arose.

[@campgalore]

Lovely sentiment at the end, made me feel quite sad that she is no longer with us. One of our great underrated actresses!

[@deborahrobertson8606]

Wonderful woman.! Thank you.

[@MrDavey2010]

Amazing actress. Her ‘Sister George’ was mesmerising .

[@larciabella]

omg just watched that movie.She was amazing!!!

[@MrDavey2010]

larciabella Yes you’re dead right. I saw it again on TV a couple of weeks ago. She’s utterly compelling and carries the movie.

[@larciabella]

@@MrDavey2010 yes she was so good that at times I wanted her to shut up and stop yelling!lol. moo moo

[@vivienneandersson6019]

I didn't know she had a sister George

[@jamestorrens645]

RIP Beryl. I'll always know her as Mrs. Desiree Carthorse, rest in peace.

[@trevorrandom]

Legend ♥

[@FF-so3su]

Brilliant actress😊👍

[@asa1973100]

She was ( PHENOMENAL ) in the movie Entertaining Mr Sloan

[@darrenremington6422]

Totally agree 👍

[@JSDesign.Hongkong]

Thank you so much for posting this gem.

[@Gman-j6p]

I loved Beryl Reid all my life. It all began with The Archie Andrew's Show. I always looked forward to Monica and Marlene and her Brummie accent - I was only a little boy. I remember one of the Marlene jokes to this day. Marlene: Good evening each. My name's Marlene and I'm from the MCC. Archie: The Marylebone Cricket Club? Marlene: No. The Marylebone Creep Club.

[@funnyfiveminutes]

What a wonderful upload. Many thanks.

[@jezt42]

I can recommend her biography “Roll out the Beryl” by Kaye Crawford, which is a fascinating insight. Thank you for the upload. An wonderful interview! 👍

[@markhooper4532]

Winnie Wallace...Glad I came across this.A very professionally done interview.Beryls charm in full evidence. Wonderful

[@joseph1980.]

What a girl!! Her face cheered us up

[@joserafaelzepeda-garza9971]

Dame Beryl

[@jaccusefashion]

Just the MOST Epic actress ever.

[@fraserkatie]

Denis Tuohy was the first person that opened BBC 2 on opening bight or nearly did! If youve seen the clip with him holding a candle that is

[@archierice333]

how can you not fall in love with her?

[@Blossom1948]

Dear Beryl I miss her character ..lovely lady and what a sweet house she lived in 👀

[@812agent]

reminds us of the good old times

[@Tulay7]

Whatever happened to these wonderful people and the fantastic ITV graphics😒

[@MrLetmein2011]

She was wonderful in Joseph Andrew’s

[@tonggao08]

I think she was right about kids. And you can see, it was a sacrifice for her, and for the right reasons. You should think of the child over what you 'want'.

[@fraserkatie]

Is this the same time as she was in Secret Dairy of Adrian Mole?

[@keelyjwant3382]

In that thick Brummie accent ooh Adrian

[@faithmapstone9982]

Should have been Dame Beryl Reid ❤

[@lewis72]

Where's Moon Cat ?

[@keelyjwant3382]

Loved mooncat

[@cloudsparrow7729]

The part where she talks about someone trying to be a comedian with an ironing board, was Paul Heiney In at the deep end, and was the most excruciating thing I've ever seen

[@jaccusefashion]

Marlene used to say ..." Do you LOIKE me EARRINGS!"
