I've only just found out that British actress Daphne Anderson died in January, aged 90
I can only really talk about 3 roles. She was the middle sister Alice Hobson, along with Prunella Scales and Brenda De Banzie in David Lean's classic Hobson's Choice which starred Charles Laughton and John Mills. I think 80-yr-old Pru Scales is the only surviving member of the cast
In the 1960s she played Kate Gideon in the cop series Gideon's Way with John Gregson in roles played by Anna Lee and Jack Hawkins in the movie Gideon's Day.
I was surprised to discover the middle-aged actress was in this classic scene from the sit com In Sickness And In Health, a sequel to Till Death Do Us Part, which inspired All In The Family in America. This scene has a social message
Daphne Anderson RIP
