Is she still acting nowadays I used to see her small telly parts in the eighties.

Talking about actors with distinctive voices who worked on radioanyone remember the actor Bill Wallis. A stalwart of the long running topical series,"Weekending.", he frequently popped up on telly at one time.
Jo Kendall turned to more "straight" acting like Howard's End (1992) and the Matron in Scum. I think she's effectively retired now - as much as any performer ever retires.

Yes, I remember Bill Wallis. He's still working. He plays Archbishop Cranmer in The Other Boleyn Girl. But I remember his best from Weekending or the Dutch hotel manager who had to put up with 5B from San Quentin High in The Beiderbecke Tapes.

He gave a strong performance as Stalin in the recent radio play The Making of Ivan the Terrible by Hattie Naylor. Jovial uncle Joe, but the menace was there all the time.

And what about Bebe Daniels?

Who says such a thing. And is it only about beautiful women or all women?
And are they talking about female comics or comedy actresses?
