Former EastEnders actress Wendy Richard (born Wendy Emerton) has died aged 65, her agent has
confirmed.
The star, who played Pauline Fowler in the BBC One soap opera, had been suffering from cancer.
Her agent Kevin Francis said: "She was incredibly brave and retained her sense of humour right to
the end."
Last October, Richard revealed she had an aggressive, terminal form of cancer. Soon after that she
married her long-term partner John Burns.
In 2000 Richard was awarded the MBE for services to television and in 2007 she was given a British
Soap Award for Lifetime Achievement for her role in EastEnders.
Richard also appeared in two Carry On films, playing a cameo role in Carry On Matron and a
supporting part in Carry On Girls (which also featured future EastEnders co-star, Barbara Windsor).
In 1962, her distinct cockney vocals also helped get her to #1 on the UK singles chart on the single
"Come Outside" by Mike Sarne.
In 2007, Richard was awarded a British Soap Award for 'Lifetime Achievement' for her role in
Eastenders.
As well as her 21 years on Albert Square, Richard starred in sitcoms Are You Being Served?, Dad's
Army and Grace and Favour.
She joined EastEnders when the programme began in 1985 and remained in it until 2006, when her
character died.
my rock
Sometimes I catch myself my rock my rock Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking, "When I phone,
I can talk of this or that!"
Then remember, I'm alone
you was always there
To answer my calls -
To listen to my "small talk"
Or when I climbed the walls.
At times, I didn't feel like talking
And somehow, you understood -
you Didn't say you wished I'd call
Or make me feel like I should.
Now, I wish I would have
More times, to show I cared -
To say, just how important
Were, all those times we shared.
I could have shown my love
So much more than I did -
I never, did it enough
Even when I was a kid.
Now it's too late to do or say
All those things I wish I had -
No way to ease the pain inside
When my heart is sad.
you was my "anchor" to this life -
The "rock", that I clung to -
The place, where I could turn
When, nowhere else would do.
Now, the ravages of time
Have worn my "rock" away -
And all I have to cling to
Are memories of yesterday.

Hello my beautiful angel.
I've been feeling so low today,
So I came on GTS for I have so much I want to say.
I feel so sad and I don't know what I can do,
I miss you so much as I sit by my computer as I cry for you.
So I switched on my computer,
To send you all my love,
And light a candle or two..
For you my angel up above.
I log into my garden,
Type my password in with love,
I know that one day I will be with you in heaven,
My angel up above.
