“Bet Lynch”

Yes, I too was upset when I read the article and saw her photo.

I thought the film ‘Iris’ was disrespectful to the memory of the great novelist Iris Murdoch. Her husband wrote about her undignified end for money and agreed to the film which dwelt on the utter degradation of it.
As she had passed, she had no say in it.

The photograph 4eminded me of the photograph of Christine Keeler before she died .
Typical Daily Mail .

I've not seen this and also didn't know about her illness . Poor lady . I feel sad for her .

Oh my goodness.. she was always so glamorous.. maybe they need the money? as we know carers are very expensive..

I saw this, Utbb, I didn't read the article, I assumed it was an upcoming story for the programme, highlighting Alzheimer's.
I'm sorry I hadn't realised that she was so ill.

I thought that it was very cruel and thoughtless to publish a photograph of Julie looking so unattractive.
If she were in sound mind - she wouldn't have liked it .
Why hasn't he attended to her dental problem.
Dentists make home visits .
As my mother aged and lost her good looks I was always sensitive to her needs .

It’s so wrong, cruel , who has benefited from show her so ill ?

I just looked this up, very sad.

Presumably they had their reasons

£ maybe?

I was in two minds too.

Presumably they had their reasons.

I do agree, I also thought it was very unkind. I haven't seen Corrie for years, but I do remember her as the larger than life, down to earth barmaid. Let's remember her like that, who would want a photo like that released to the public. Celebrities are mortals like everyone else, their private lives should be just that. Shame on her husband.

I saw it and was shocked, as they also printed a photo of her in her hey day, the contrast was so marked.

I think it was her missing teeth that made her look especially old and frail.

Cynical me wondered if the husband was paid to show them, whatever, I felt it intrusive and unnecessary.

I just looked up JG in Google and was shocked by the photograph uttb. Her husband ought to have left her some dignity in my opinion.

Yes, I saw this too. It was cruelly unflattering.

Perhaps her husband doesn't see it - beauty is in the eye of the beholder perhaps.

Oh! I hope that was the case ferry23,
Also in this superficial age, I think it's a good thing really to see life as it really is without it being photoshopped up to the eyebrows or possibly without them. 😊

I saw it and thought it was cruel of him to publish it.

I am in two minds with this one. It is also being reported that her family were/are ok with the picture being published.

Dementia is a horrible disease, sadly we have witnessed it first hand in its various forms.

The photograph is of her looking happy. Whilst it is not as we remember her, it is of her today. Would it be right to hide her away?

Like i started with, i am in two minds, on one hand it is nice to see her happy and on the other, as she isn't in a position to agree to publication, i wonder would she have?

I saw the headline, but didn’t look at the photos. It seems a cruel and unnecessary thing for him to have done. Clickbait?

Perhaps her husband wants the general public to see the ravages of dementia. Only those who have experienced this dreadful disease know what it can do to those who we love and care about.
