RIP Una Stubbs.

Post by Eddie Muir »

I’m very sad to learn that Una Stubbs has died at the age of 84. I remember seeing her as a dancer at the Brighton Hippodrome in 1955. She has been in countless shows and films since then. RIP Una.

A very sad day Eddie.
Hard to believe she was eighty four.
I loved her in Fawlty Towers and Sherlock, amongst many other things.

I've seen Una Stubbs in a number of things over the years and I'm sorry to hear of her death. Like Pete, I was surprised to learn that she was eighty-four.

RIP Una Stubbs. Like others I remember her in a large number of roles and always excellent.

Sad that we could not see her in at least one more episode of Sherlock.

Vale Una!
