I was sorry to hear that Penelope Keith has died.
Many people will remember her as Margo in The Good Life, but for me it was To the Manor Born.
Audrey fforbes-Hamilton could have been unbearable in the wrong hands. Proud, snobbish, stubborn, ridiculous.
But Penelope Keith made her human.
She had that rare comic gift of being completely precise without becoming cold. Every look, every pause, every lifted eyebrow seemed to know exactly where it belonged.
She was only sixteen years older than me, which feels close now.
When I was young, eighty-six sounded like another country. Now it feels like someone a little further down the same road has quietly stepped out of sight.
She made dignity funny.
She made fussiness magnificent.
A proper actress.
