Lisa O`Brien Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Just heard this how sad. Both she and Julie Walters studied Drama at Manchester Poly with my drama teacher. They both called in to see our teacher while we were in a lesson. RIP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 It's terrible. This year has had an awful toll on the Arts and it's only April. RIP, Victoria. You were a very funny and clever lady. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 So very very sad to hear this. 62 is so young. What a great loss - really so sorry for her family and friends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Victoria lives just up the road from me so I've seen her around quite often over the years. We used to collect our daughters from the Haringey young orchestra and music lessons at the same time, and we used to see her with the kids in Strada and Pizza Express, so I have often seen her just being a 'normal mum'. Although her children are now grown up, like mine, 62 is waaaay too young. I'm glad she managed to keep it quiet and away from the press so that she could have privacy and dignity in her final months. RIP. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonty Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I was absolutely shocked when I heard this. She was a very talented woman, and never failed to make me laugh. Such a dreadful loss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
