Wendy Richard, MBE (born Wendy Emerton, 20 July 1943 – 26 February 2009) was an English actress best known for playing the roles of Miss Shirley Brahms on Are You Being Served? and Pauline Fowler on EastEnders, the latter for nearly 22 years. Until her character's onscreen death in December 2006, she was one of only two original cast members to appear continuously from the first episode in 1985, along with Adam Woodyatt, who played her screen nephew Ian Beale. Richard was first educated at St George's Primary School in Mount Street, Mayfair, west London, before attending the Royal Masonic School for Girls in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, and then the Italia Conti Academy stage school in London.
She died on 26 February 2009 at the Harley Street clinic where she was being treated for breast cancer.
Richard, an only child, was born in Middlesbrough in 1943. Her parents, Henry and Beatrice Reay (née Cutter) Emerton, were publicans and ran the Corporation Hotel in the town. Emerton and Cutter married in Paddington in 1939. While Richard was a baby, her family moved to Bournemouth. They later moved to the Isle of Wight and then to London, where they ran the Shepherds Tavern in Shepherd Market, where Elizabeth Taylor and Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon are said to have been customers. Richard attended the local primary school, St George's, but her education was interrupted when her family moved again, this time to the Valentine Hotel at Gants Hill, then in Essex, now in Greater London. Another move, to the Streatham Park Hotel in south London, followed a few months later. It was there, in December 1954, that Richard's father committed suicide. Wendy, then 11, found his body. Her mother Beatrice never remarried, and died of liver cancer in May 1972.

What’s the difference between Scotch and Rye? What exactly is Canadian whisky? Does the introduction of a simple “e” – going from whisky to whiskey – mean anything? Whiskey fever is sweeping the nation, with craft distilleries popping up in cities and remote counties alike. But the wealth of choices brings just as many puzzlements. Happily, Master Sommelier Richard Betts, art director Crystal English Sacca and local illustrator extraordinaire Wendy MacNaughton have teamed up to create a clever distillation of America’s favorite libation, The Essential Scratch-and-Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All. They divide whiskey into three simple categories – grain, wood and place – as a jumping-off point to navigate the details of this exalted spirit. Join them for a talk and tasting with...

Elf Quest Origins Wendy And Richard Pini Comic Con Interview On Elf Quest Origins #SDCC During Comic Con 2014, I was granted the rare opportunity to interview Wendi And Richard Pini , the creators of Elf Quest. While going over what we were going to talk about for the video, I realized that no one had sat down with them to talk about how Elf Quest came to be. I realized that it was borne of the couple's meeting, and their love for each other. We agreed to talk about Elf Quest from that perspective, and the result is a moment in time that can be played at any time. I hope Wendi and Richard appreciate that I wanted to wait until just the right time to issue this video. I felt that just before Comic Con 2015, when all eyes in the science fiction and fantasy world were focused on "SDCC...
