Wendy Richard, MBE was born Wendy Emerton on July 20, 1943, in Middlesbrough, England. She is a British actress.

She first became familiar to TV audiences playing Joyce Harker, a regular in the BBC's 1960s soap opera, The Newcomers, but found fame in the 1970s sitcom Are You Being Served? as Miss Shirley Brahms, a slow-witted sales representative with a heavy Cockney accent. After that series ended Richard found continued success as Pauline Fowler on the BBC soap opera EastEnders, a role she has played since the first episode in 1985. Richard also appeared in the Are You Being Served? sequel Grace & Favour in 1992 and 1993.

She has also appeared in Dad's Army, The Likely Lads and some Carry On films
. In 1962 her distinct cockney vocals helped get her to #1 on the UK singles chart - uncredited, on the single, Come Outside, by Mike Sarne.

She endured a long battle with breast cancer in the early 1990s; her cancer went into remission after years of treatment, but has since returned.

Wendy Richard was awarded an MBE in 1999.
