What dreadful news this morning. Pauline was diagnosed with dementia in 2021 her husband has disclosed.

She is so young, only 65.

I can only wish her and her family all the very best.

Very sad to hear this news, Pauline has been a great actress. 😥

Very sad news for Psuline. Let's hope she goes on for years and year and becomes an ofgicoal/ unofficial ambassador for all the different dementias, like Billy Connelly and Prunella Scales.

My heart goes out to family and friends of Pauline. Having been through this illness with my husband and now on my own I know the terrible heartache it brings.

If she was diagnosed in 2021 she'd have been 62, and really people don't go for diagnosis until the symptoms are pretty unavoidable. So in fact she was tragically young for alzheimers. I hope she manages to spend her remaining life in a way she can enjoy.

By all accounts - a lovely person .
I don't think that Birds Of A Feather illustrated her gift as an actress .
She's really incredible in other productions .
I hope that you are OK , Pauline .

Who?

Really? Then why bother even commenting. If you didn't know who Pauline Quirke is, a quick Google would have answered that question for you.

You’re absolutely right, ViceVersa! Some idiots just can’t resist putting the knife in. Perhaps it makes them feel good. There is another person on here who does the same and I have often called him out.
On a brighter note, there can’t be many who haven’t heard of Pauline, so ya-boo-sucks to Wibbly. He needs to get a life!
