Thought I would start a thread for this brilliant actress (sorry if there is already one). Georgina Melville is famous for Doctor at large, Thomas and Sarah and she was stunning in Nanny.

In Nanny as Lady Cheddon

Unfortunately, Georgina seems to have died a few years back of multiple sclerosis, I don't know exactly when though. Linda Bellingham mentions in her recent autobiography that she befriended Georgina when they made a comedy series together - The Pink Medicine Show - in 1978. Georgina was first diagnosed at about this time and died while still relatively young.

This website also mentions 'the late Georgina Melville':

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling she had died, but was trying to find out if that was really the case for sure, as there isn`t a lot of info about her from the 90s onwards.

Sad to read this - I always liked Georgina. One of those reliable 'types' who underpinned the principals in a lot of the stuff she did. The PIF she did about giving bicycles room on the road always makes me chuckle; a nice little performance.

RIP Georgina.
