Dame Penelope Keith: The Good Life actress dies aged 86 - BBC News

Very sad. She was fabulous. RIP x

I have shed a tear. 😢 I loved her.

She was so funny, she made an awful lot of people laugh ☺️

That's so sad. She was a terrific actress and seemed to have a very happy home life. We'll never forget Margo.

She was absolutely fantastic in everything I've seen her in. She worked hard to help the homeless too.

A sad loss. RIP.

Fantastic actress 💐

Oh no - I loved her! Especially Margo Leadbetter. What a wonderful actress - will be sadly missed.

So sad 😞

Oh wasn’t she so fantastic as Margot, RIP lovely Penelope.

She had wonderful comic timing. And, in The Good Life, at first Margo just seems to be a monster, but Penelope Keith also made her quite vulnerable, so you ended up loving her.

Oh that makes me sad. The Good Life and To the Manor Born were staples of family telly when I was growing up. Margo was an absolute goddess!

Oh that’s very sad. I remember her in To The Manor Born especially. Very funny woman.

Oh gosh, that's so sad. I absolutely loved her when I was a kid. She was so beautiful and striking and such a brilliant actress

Loved To the Manor Born growing up. She was great at making a character with unlikeable traits have a loveable side to them.

Just reading her wiki page. What a fascinating woman.

Oh, that’s really sad. Heard her on the Rosebud podcast not long ago - she was enchanting.

Oh that's sad she was amazing.

That's is sad. She fought hard for Denville Hall too (the Actors Benevolent Fund care home) and dealt with the nasty politics around the board/trustee dispute really well I thought.

From the reporting, it very much appeared she and the others were treated appallingly but they never were publicly rude or offensive about the internal politics.

Penelope Keith and Yootha Joyce both burned into my memory from the 70s

Loved her as Margo Leadbetter in The Good Life. Her outfits were amazing.
RIP Penelope.

Aww loved her. Cant believe she was mid 30's in The Good Life

Sad times RIP

Nooo! Loved her. What a dreadful shame.

Reunited with Jerry.

All the great actors from my childhood are going 😞

😢 I've just read the sad news.

Amazing woman, loved her as Margo. I grew up with the Good Life & still enjoy it!

I'm so sad (as merely an admirer of her talent) my heart goes out to her family & friends ❤️‍🩹

They don't make them like that anymore 💕

I knew one of her neighbours who said she was incredibly lovely and kind.
And she was so funny. Ah bless her. Sad day.
