Afroman Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Former EastEnders actress Wendy Richard 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.Planned funeralFrancis said the star passed away in the Harley Street Clinic in London with her husband by her side.In an interview with the Sunday Express last year, Richard revealed she had already planned her funeral and written her will.She discovered the disease had returned after her usual annual check-up, which revealed cancerous cells in her left armpit.She told the paper: "Now I have a cancerous growth on my right kidney and the cancer has spread to my bones."It's more aggressive this time, unfortunately, and has spread to the top of my spine and left ribs."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.On top of 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.The reason she gave for her departure was because she objected to producers making her character remarry.
