    RIP, lovely lady I was lucky to meet a number of times, her and June Whitfield were hysterical especially together.

    Yes a sad day. 
    She made a big impression on me in ‘ Ice cold in Alex ‘

    My grandparents lived on the progress estate, I remember visiting them, would be around 1950. Wonder if Sylvia Sims was nearby?

    Loved the comment in the Obituaries that she turned down a large autobiography advance from publishers because she thought no-one would be interested. She suggested the book could be called "Who the fuck is Sylvia?" RIP Sylvia.

    Could you say, it Sims she underestimated herself?

    Anyone would be proud to have Ice Cold.. on their CV.

    RIP

    Thanks @Derek1952
    I knew that but hadn't realised I'd misspelt. Have changed it.

    Wonderful actress, with a long and versatile career.

    It's crazy to think that she made more money from Ice Cold in Alex being used for TV advertising than she did for the film.

    RIP.
