EastEnders star Wendy Richard dies
Thursday 26 February 2009
EastEnders star Wendy Richard died today, after losing her battle with cancer.
The veteran actress - who played Pauline Fowler in the soap for 22 years before quitting in 2006 – passed away this morning with her husband John Burns at her bedside.
Her agent Kevin Francis said: 'She was incredibly brave and retained her sense of humour right to the end.'
Wendy was diagnosed last year with an aggressive form of cancer and was told in January that is had spread to her kidney and bones.
She had battled breast cancer twice before in the mid-1990s and 2002 and was determined to fight the disease again.
