Lovely actress who, along with Dame Eileen Atkins, was co-creator of Upstairs Downstairs and The House of Elliott

Jean Marsh also wrote at least one novel, I have one, "Iris". I enjoyed watching Upstairs Downstairs" when they were responding on TPTV a couple of years ago, I think they're all available on ITVX as well. It made me think a lot about my maternal grandmother who was in service WW1

And The House of Elliott

She was fabulous as the domineering mother in Sense and Sensibility ( the tv version)

Such a clever woman.
