Nooooo! Mrs. Slocombe is one of my all-time favorite characters. RIP Molly, thank you for the laughs, and I am unanimous in that.

I think he started the bunch because it seemed like 8 or 9 days later everything went crazy in the Hollywood Ghoul Pool.

Played General George Marshall in “Saving Private Ryan”.

Yup! He had that part down pat.....looked like him and sounded just like him also. Great job/great actor.

He was also a private pilot, owned a ranch in the central valley of California and would commute daily from there to the set....if in L.A.

Sorry to hear about Mollie Sugden! Wonder what color hair she’ll be sporting in Heaven? (Mrs. Slocombe joke)...

Not a good day for actors who portrayed Generals in movies.

It is a shame that with all his success, Harve Presnell did not have any health insurance.

Because that’s what people die of, you know. Lack of health insurance.

I miss her too. Looked around the web for quotes that would do her justice but really didn’t find any.

So sorry to learn that Mollie Sugden has died.

She was a great actress and, according to people who knew her, a great lady as well.

RIP Mrs Slocombe.
