A great actress. RIP. Loved her as Shirley Valentine.

Gosh that’s a shock flowers

Oh no!!
I loved her, so funny and vibrant, I remember her and a young John Alderton in Upstairs Downstairs. But of course she is best known and loved for being the inimitable Shirley Valentine.
Thoughts are with her loved ones 🌹

I started a similar thread about the same time. I'll get mine deleted.

Very sorry to hear she'd died. I believe her husband John Alderton is still alive.

RIP Shirley Valentine flowers

I saw her onstage in 'The Importance of Being Earnest' a very long time ago. She was a lovely, sensitive actress. RIPthanks

Oh goodness. Ridiculously in my head she was in her sixties. I didn't know she had parkinsons disease. I am sad to hear that.

I remember her in Upstairs Downstairs and vaguely in The Liver Birds. I thought she was an excellent actress

She never seemed to age. How sad that she has died.
RIP Pauline Collins.

She was 85y.

Such a watchable actress (“Hello wall”).
Loved that film.

RIP dear lady. Thanks for the fun. x

How sad 😔

Jaxjacky Thu 06-Nov-25 18:51:14

Quite recently I enjoyed her in Mrs Caldicot’s Cabbage War and of course Shirley Valentine.
RIP- you made me smile and think.

So sad - pretty lady with the most gorgeous dimples. R.I.P. Pauline

RIP thank you

Pauline died on bonfire night .
She had Parkinsons .
I remember her in Upstairs Downstairs as naughty Sarah .
I liked her in Shirley Valentine .
And I recently saw her as the hapless Clara in No Honestly .
RIP 🙏 💐

RIP Shirley Valentine.

Yes, very sad. Isn’t it strange how we seem to lose so many loved actors in clusters?

She was so talented, Upstairs Downstairs and Shirley Valentine are her two of her most memorable roles

RIP Pauline Collins 💐
