Used to love watching her and Russ Abbott do Cooperman and Blunderwoman. She had a bloody long career, over 60 years.
I was a kid when she was best known. Her and Russ was all charming innocent fun with no bad language or insults needed.

Shocked to discover Russ Abbott is still alive. I thought he died a long time ago.

Whatever the case, well done to Bella for her fantastic achievements at West Bromwich Albion with her fellow 'Three Degrees' superstars Cunningham and Batson.
Well done to Big Ronald for giving the three of them their chance in the same team. He was a progressive way ahead of his time, and would surely be England manager today with that flawless pedigree. |

It was Rita Webb who was in Benny Hill, I think.
In the same mould - there aren't enough like them any more. |

Indeed, but many say he was still very much a second division struggler compared to Wilfred Hyde White.

It was Rita Webb in Benny Hill, i remember a sketch once,
Where Benny Hill walked into a pub called The George & Dragon, Rita Webb said, ''What d'you want'', to which he replied, ''Is George In''. lol  men couldnt get away with it now, but women could. |

Ahhh Rita Webb, now there's a name to conjure with. Sadly missed. Allah bless her soul.
Remember when she and Jack Parnell were our generation's Burton and Taylor, or even Roy Cropper and Hayley? We all hoped that she could be the one to stop him treating every A Road as his own personal Formula One track, but alas not. |

It's become a Rita Webb thread!
I remember in Benny Hill, when he grimaced at seeing her and she said "What's the matter? We're all sisters under the skin" and he replied "well take your skin off then and show us your sister". |
