Carry On... Legends - Joan Sims

A Profile on the Queen of Carry On, Joan Sims.

[@ParchedPinemarten]

To me, Joan Sims was the Queen of Carry On. That title was only given to Barbara because of her sex appeal. Sims was in 24 Carry On movies, while Windsor - not to discredit her importance - was only in 10 movies. Sims was also one of the most talented actors in the series and stole almost every scene she was in. A vastly charismatic and underrated actress.

[@TVGreats]

I dont believe that title was ever given to Babs, i always thought it was Joan

[@ParchedPinemarten]

@@TVGreats I definitely could be wrong, but memory told me it was given to Windsor.

[@rnw2739]

Joan will always be the Queen of Carry On, Windsor doesn't even com close. I'd cite Hattie Jacques before Windsor an all.

[@craigmills3583]

Joan was always known as the queen of the carry on’s. Babs would’ve agreed. In fact in Joan’s biography she called her “the last of the great carry on’s” both ladies were top draw

[@mikegrace]

I watched till death us part and had to Google who the gran was, and it was joan, she played the part geeat

[@DarkAngel459]

I love Hattie Jacques. I love Barbara Windsor. But Joan Sims is the best actress in the Carry On series.

[@bostonblackie9503]

She was wonderful. Kenneth William's once asked her to marry him. In those days they didn't allow single people to adopt children and he loved children.

[@stephenguppy7882]

Joan was always good value. I think she was one of our very best comedy actresses and sadly underrated.

[@kat71580]

Wonderful, the lovely Joan Sims.

[@huggyhuggsbears1265]

Joan Sims was just as important to the Carry On team as were her male colleagues and especially in the earlier movies she was an absolute stunner, an amazing figure and so beautiful, but as the movies became more popular and the comedy more bawdy I think both the film's producer and director did Joan a great injustice by turning this beautiful actress into this battle axe character, not helped by the fact that they would constantly be bringing in new girls into the series, who were younger & slimmer than her, a real shame. As the series progressed it was also obvious she was putting on weight and then came her alcohol addiction, but she did bounce back and Good for her!! Despite the troubles in her life it doesn't by any way diminish her amazing body of work, such a beautiful & wonderful actress and she is so sadly missed. Wherever she may be, I'd like to think that she is with her loving family and of course her fellow madcap Carry On friends who she regarded as her work family, I'm sure they're somewhere reminiscing about the good old days and trying to outdo each other with the most outlandish stories that they can think of...IF that's what's in store in the afterlife, I want to book me a place there! Rest In Peace Joan, you were just as beautiful in true-life as you were a joy to watch on the screen, sadly gone but never forgotten xx Thankyou for posting this wonderful tribute to an equally wonderful actress and human being...THANK-YOU.

A wonderful tribute to Joan. God bless our precious Joanie. Sleep tight sweetheart.

[@johnrider5701]

It's sad she ended up lonely and struggling too make ends meet after all the happiness she brought to so many people .

[@andrewthornhill7042]

The wine tasting sequence from 'Carry On Regardless', where Joan gets progressively drunker is a riot!

[@susannah1066]

Apparently she was drinking alcohol and was drunk in that scene.

[@jeffallinson8089]

Still love Joan Simms. Fabulous actress and a lovely lady.

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

True legend, such a funny woman.

[@helentrofimova1444]

Hope she's having a good laugh and carry on with the gang in heaven 😍

[@StephenLyons-tl8ie]

I'm sure that they're all having a riot!!

[@alexobiago4388]

Loved Joan Simms incredable actress

[@craigmills3583]

The best of the ladies in the carry ons in my opinion and that’s saying something with Hattie and Babs also being brilliant. She really was a top quality actress

[@jeantriggs5090]

Joan Sims was a lovely lady, she always seem to be smiling. And, the gift you, Hattie and Barbara gave to us was laughter. Thank you Joan, Thank you to all the Carry on team, you are all truly missed. 😏

[@rogerbritton2106]

Loved the carry on team, the innuendos, the comedy, the laughs, Joan was such an icon.. Wonderful actress..

[@Seeker7100]

No matter what part Joan Sims played you could always see the goodness shining through!

[@Steven_Rowe]

I'm now 71, Joan is well and truly old enough to be my mother, back in the 1960s I loved all the carry on films. I think she was a very gorgeous woman without a doubt.

[@stoopidvideoz]

Joan Sims was fantastic and a pleasure to watch. So sad she always got the plain Jane roles both in films and in life.

[@spherevision360]

Just loved her. Thank you for giving us these wonderful videos to savour.

[@nigeleldridge4769]

she was a Legends

[@sharonellis8776]

Nice tribute to a lovely funny great actress. xx

[@jofrances3296]

I really feel that Joan Sims and her good friend hattie Jakes. We’re the real starts of these carry on movies so talented and so charismatic.

[@algie-t2w]

"Miss Alcock" the name still makes me laugh out loud.

[@adriang913]

I'm really trying to enjoy these Carry On bios but there are several places where music suddenly replaces the audio narration, and in more than one of them, the video just ends - mid sentence. Whats going on with your editing?

[@TVGreats]

It's youtube sadly and copyright, they insist audio is replaced to keep them from being pulled

[@anthonyshirley9928]

I think she was the best

[@ArthurLockwood-e8c]

Just love her 🥲💯

[@fishyc150]

Reenie was from laindon where my mum was born. She and nan were very close and she was like an aunt to my mum. Mum was even named Sandra Irene after her and I've photos of her visiting me at home my first Christmas (1971) sitting on reenies lap. We moved away in 73. Mum got Christmas cards on and off till her death. Mum actually coincidentally looked a lot like her and they spoke with the same accent so it's strange watching and hearing "joan" on screen.

[@miabahons1953]
