Like most Americans, my first exposure to Patricia Routledge was as Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances. That would have been enough to make me an instant fan but then I saw her in Hetty Wainthropp Investigates and then Hildegard of Bingden. I was sold.
Ms Routledge was terribly underrated as an actor and will be missed ❤

RIP Dame Patricia Routledge

Pure class.

I'm so glad to have discovered Keeping Up Appearances years ago when PBS shared them with us.
Then, later on, it was a joy to find Ms. Routledge's many roles, and appearances!
