There was, and will ever be, only one Yootha Joyce, who would have been 90 years old today...
As I said five years ago on the occasion of her 85th anniversary: "We miss her".
We still do.
Yootha Joyce (20th August 1927 – 24th August 1980)
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

Yootha was such a great character actress and comedienne. UK'S Man about the House, we never got to see it in the USA, we had its rip-off Threes Company.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about her demise, she deserved better. -Rj
She was fabulous! Jx
DeletePS there were so many rip-off versions of British comedies Stateside in the 1970s and 80s. What was so wrong with showing the originals?! Far superior.
