Default Liz Smith has died, 95.
Quote:
Actress Liz Smith, who played "Nana" in the Royle Family and Mrs Cropley in the Vicar of Dibley, has died aged 95.

A family spokeswoman confirmed the death on Boxing Day.

Born as Betty Gleadle in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, in 1921, she later gave herself the stage name of Smith.

She also had roles in 2point4 Children and Lark Rise to Candleford, and was the voice of Mrs Mulch in Wallace and Gromit's The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

R.I.P. Legend, such a funny lady and brilliant comic actress.

I don't really like The Royle Family, but my mum always puts The Queen of Sheba on around Christmas and nana's death always makes me cry

She was one of those under-rated little gems of show business. 95 is a very good age, but still a loss.
