I was sorry to hear of Pauline Collins passing at 85. She had a long acting career, in pieces such as Upstairs, Downstairs, Shirley Valentine, and Doctor Who, both Classic and New. My thoughts are with her loved ones. #RIP #PaulineCollins #RIPPaulineCollins

I loved Pauline Collins. I loved the way she brought every single character she played to life. She just lifted her characters off the pages & made them truly believable.
Condolences to everyone who knew her. She was one of a kind

She’ll always be Claira to me
PAULINE COLLINS: From "Thomas and Sarah" to "Shirley Valentine," thank you. May you now find eternal sunshine on a beautiful rocky shore. Deep condolences to her family and friends at this time. #RIPPaulineCollins.
I can't believe we've lost yet another national treasure 😢 She was iconic in Shirley Valentine, and many other roles #RIPPaulineCollins
Sad to hear of Pauline Collins' passing. Shirley Valentine taught many of us that life’s greatest adventures often begin when we choose to live authentically, perhaps 'with a glass of wine in a country where the grape is grown, sitting by the sea...'

“Goodbye. Goodbye Shirley Valentine”
So sad to hear she’s left us.
My Mum took me to see Shirley Valentine in the West End when I was pretty young. We sat in the Vaudeville’s front row and Pauline Collins delivered one of her “kids, eh” asides straight at me. I was in love. #RIPPaulineCollins
