Subject: Ruth Madoc: Hi-de-Hi! actress dies aged 79

Written By: Philip Eno on 12/10/22 at 7:33 am

Actress Ruth Madoc, who starred in the BBC sitcom Hi-de-Hi!, has died aged 79, her agent says.

Her agent said she died in hospital on Friday afternoon after surgery for a fall she had earlier in the week.

Phil Belfield of talent agency Belfield & Ward Ltd described her as a "unique talent loved by many".

He paid tribute to her "iconic" TV performance as Gladys Pugh in the 1980s comedy Hi-de-Hi!, about a holiday camp in the late 50s.

"Fiddler on the Roof" is one of the films I still not yet have seen, and I had not realised that she was in it.

Is that the one with Zero Mostel?

Zero was not in the film version, he only played on Broadway.

My mother took my ninth birthday party to go see it when it first came out. (Oh crap, I just dated myself again. I hate when I do that.) Of course I knew all the songs because I grew up listening to the album from the play (with Zero Mostel & Bea Arthur).
