I’m a fan of the late Dame Barbara Windsor, but my appreciation for her has shot up more since I heard she payed of her EastEnders co-star Cheryl Fergison mortgage while she was battling womb cancer as she was struggling to pay the bills.
It takes a special person to be able to take burden off someone in distress.
If more people could be like this the world truly would be better than it is now.
It’s refreshing to see people who can do still good deeds away from a camera lens, and not expect or want recognition for it.
Dame Barbara always delivered comedy gold which was evident in that infamous Christmas episode where she exposed her cheating husband Frank and her best friend Pat’s affair, but it’s also good to know she had a heart of gold in real-life.
I’m so happy her memory is being revived with stories like this, and hope more awareness can be raised about Alzheimer’s disease a cruel mind-robbing disease that currently has no cure ,and sadly took Barbara away from us too early.
