Una Stubbs

Una Stubbs feels like one of those quietly essential figures in British television. I'm drawn to the arc here: she broke through dancing in Summer Holiday in 1963, then became a fixture as Rita Rawlins across decades of BBC sitcoms. What I admire is the longevity, an actress, dancer, and television personality who stayed relevant from the 1960s right up to her passing in 2021. That kind of staying power usually means real warmth on screen. I think she's the sort of performer whose name British audiences instantly recognize while the rest of the world tends to overlook her, which feels like an oversight to me.

Una Stubbs (1 May 1937 – 12 August 2021) was an English actress, television personality, and dancer who appeared on British television, in the theatre, and occasionally in films. She became known after appearing in the film Summer Holiday (1963) and later played Rita Rawlins in the BBC sitcoms Till Death Us Do Part (1965–1975) and In Sickness and in Health (1985–1992).
