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!

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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

Tragic. My thoughts are with the family. With the right meds/support am hoping Pauline will still be able to enjoy life with her loved ones. There really needs to be more research done into dementia, is not just an old person’s condition, some younger ones get it prematurely and Pauline was definitely not elderly, she is two years younger than me.

Who?

It’s the one disease that scares me more than cancer. My Gran used to be terrified of getting it, as she needed to look after my aunt, who suffered brain damage as a child. She died almost 92 years old and it was only in her last few days it became apparent she was suffering from it. I pray I’m the same, it’s cruelly robs you of your personality and leaves behind a stranger.

She seems to have a close circle around her , the press have only just found out . That will have given her and her family time to not have her private life talked about. I get that it raises awareness but this is at there pace . Long line of female relatives with early onset dementia. Cruel disease.

My Mum suffered from Dementia for many years. Would not give in & kept trying to talk to us & remember us until she was robbed of that eventually! Nasty illness that robs family of their loved one bit by bit! Would not wish it on my worst enemy! Hope Pauline & her family get as much help as they can! Very sad!

Lovely lady
Who remembers her in
'You Must Be Joking' and 'Pauline's Quirke's' in the mid to late 70's ?

Yes I do, just couldn’t remember what it was called 😊

Ahh I loved Pauline, really down to earth gal.

My heart goes out to Pauline being diagnosed since 2021 a young age as it does to all people young and old with this terrible illness my father actually died from it Alzheimer’s / vascular dementia Pauline is a brilliant actress I’ve watched her for several years playing different characters very talented lady

Poor lady. She was such a great actress. So sad for her and the family. Life is so cruel at times😔😔

Very sad for her, her family and friends.

I was very sorry to hear this. Talented actress and seemed a very nice person.

Dementia is no respecter of age , people are diagnosed in their 50s . My DH was diognosed last March and life is becoming complicated! Although he is elderly he is physically fit and well. Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia invade every aspect of their life and of those who love them . I am sad to learn about Pauline Quirke , sadly she is on of 1000s . I hope it does not call on me while I have my DH to take care of.

This is very sad news. Pauline Quirk is more than her character in Birds of a Feather, good though it was. She is an excellent actress and has done a great deal to help other youngsters enjoy her profession. So sad, so young too

Apparently she was diagnosed four years ago.

Dementia is a nasty, nasty condition (sorry, rather stating the obvious there). I hope her doctors and family can help her as much as is humanly possible. I feel for them all.

Very upsetting news.
