Today is a very special day.
It's Fenella Fielding's birthday today! She is 90 years old!
She has had a film career expanding over 5 decades. She starred in Pieces of Eight in 1958 with Kenneth Williams, but she is best known for playing Valeria Watt in Carry On Screaming! in 1966.
Fenella is an absolute icon and I am so glad to have met her in Liverpool almost 2 weeks ago, she was so sweet and I would love to meet her again if I could.
She has starred alongside some of the biggest names in showbiz... including Kenneth Williams, Eric Thompson, Rik Mayall, Kenneth Connor, Leslie Phillips and more!
So for her birthday, I'm sharing some of her finest moments, thanks to YouTube!
Some 90s kids may recognise her from the TV show Uncle Jack, where she played the Villainess, The Vixen! Here's a link to all the episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg_GPv_XfvnC8FD3exZeEI_rlM3HfYw8j
Then there's her 'smoking' scene in Carry On Screaming! "Do you mind if I smoke?" is the 2nd most notable line from the Carry Ons, 1st place going to Kenneth Williams' "Infamy, Infamy, they've all got it in for me!" from Carry On Cleo, here is Fenella in action in the smoking scene:
She became the first actress to guest star on the Morecambe and Wise show in 1969 (I believe!):
Here's another time she guest-starred, in 1972:
Here's my interview compilation, released a few days before I met her:
Here she is performing at the Unity Theatre, which is the performance I went to see:
Finally, here's the video where I met her:
So let's all celebrate her birthday in STYLE! Because at 90, she definitely deserves it!
