PROFILE
WENDY Richard often spoke of the sacrifices her parents made to send her to stage school, saying it was the reason she was such a hard-working actress.
She performed in two Carry On films – Carry On Matron and Carry On Girls – which also starred EastEnders castmate Barbara Windsor.
From 1972 to 1985, Richard became well known as Miss Brahms, the mini-skirted shop assistant in the department store sitcom Are You Being Served?.
The actress starred in the first episode of EastEnders as Pauline Fowler and was a key character in Albert Square for the next 21 years. Her departure from the soap on Christmas Day 2006 was watched by 10.6 million viewers.
Richard was awarded an MBE in the millennium honours list.
I admire her very much. Her life's story is very dramatic.
