"You know, Richard, I fear the moment they come knocking on our door with their testicles!"
Of course, there was far more to Margaret's repetoire than just eccentric old women. She had a highly successful television and theatre career that spanned over fifty years. I was lucky enough to catch her playing Lady Cravenshire in Calender Girls at the Wales Millennium Centre last year, and she made a huge impression with such a small role. Her stage presence was incomparable and my only complaint was that it was indeed such a small role. With Jean Boht being rather a disappointment in the role of Jessie, in an otherwise fantastic production, I couldn't help but sit there and think how wonderful it would have been to see Margaret playing that part.
The huge number of tributes on social networking sites are testament to her popularity, with moving messages from her fans, friends and co-stars alike. She was a true star and will be sadly missed.
