Irene Handl stole every show that she was in!

[@neilmcintosh5150]

People talk about British national treasures but Irene certainly was the ultimate national treasure!

Cilla always appeared down to earth on screen, but in reality she was not the easiest person to work with at all. She had a reputation at LWT as a dragon.

[@get2rog]

@BrisbaneBoy86 also had a rep in panto. She would gather the staff together dressers etc. and threaten them with the sack if they messed her about. Sadly the nicer a lot of celebs were on screen the more callous they were off stage. I still love what she brought to the front of the screen though.

[@damiencrowley5546]

She was quite the opposite of how you describe her.

Irene handl was amazing!

[@mckavitt13]

3 people don't like Irene Handl? Shame on them! 😂

[@MrDavey2010]

Irene Handl was exceedingly wealthy through family money and was a terrible snob you know. Very like Cilla actually. Don’t be taken in by their screen personas. And before anybody says this, I do happen to know.

[@mckavitt13]

@@MrDavey2010 I saw her interviewed & found her funny & modest. Not at all snobbish. Katherine Hepburn, whom I love, yes.

[@Loverboy19691]

This is the time when I had such a big crush on Cilla. RIP.

[@Robin.Tussin]

She would have gotten bent straight over, with no chat.

[@PhilJonesIII]

[@hoopenhanger]

[@jacksugden8190]
