Nicola Pagett

British actresses of her era carried a particular poise, and Nicola Pagett had it in abundance. Born in Cairo and known for Elizabeth Bellamy in Upstairs, Downstairs, she helped bring to life one of television's sharpest portraits of class divided by a staircase. Her composed, intelligent screen presence must have anchored that drama beautifully. That she later led a sitcom shows range beyond the period costume. She died in 2021, but I want to remember her as one of the bright flowers of British television's golden age, an actress whose elegance felt entirely her own rather than borrowed from the roles.
