	Actors - Josephine Tewson

Josephine Tewson (born February 26 1939) is a English actress, best known for her role as Elizabeth Warden in Keeping Up Appearances (1990–1995). She also played Edna Hawkins in the first six seasons of the British sitcom Shelley, and appeared in a memorable United States television commercial for Fig Newtons. A 2005 DVD release has also served as a reminder of her role as Jane Travers in the sitcom Clarence, which was written by and starred (in his last television role before his retirement) Ronnie Barker.

Tewson was born in Hampstead, London, and studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. She is the cousin of actor John Inman, with whom she starred in the short-lived 1970s sitcom Odd Man Out
. She was once married to the actor Leonard Rossiter, though they later divorced.

More recently, she has appeared semi-regularly as Miss Davenport in Last of the Summer Wine (written by Roy Clarke, who also wrote Keeping Up Appearances). She has also appeared in two episodes of the documentary series Comedy Connections, talking about her work in Keeping Up Appearances (2004) and opposite The Two Ronnies (2005).

Her cousin is the popular comic actor John Inman.
