BARBARA WINDSOR

Best known for her roles in EastEnders and the Carry On films, former actress Barbara Windsor passed away at the age of 83, as announced by her husband Scott Mitchell. Windsor was an esteemed actress and a recipient of the Member of the Order of the British Empire. She also hosted Disaster Masters and voiced Dormouse in the live-action Alice in Wonderland films.

Speaking for his wife, Mitchell noted that her final weeks were filled with what she was known for in her career: humor, drama, and a continued fighting spirit. Windsor made her debut in 1994 as the character of Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders, which is considered the defining moment of her career. Being in her early 80s, it was clear that there was a lot of gas left in her; she could have still performed daring roles in the industry. She will surely be missed.
