RIP Alice.


Very sad to hear that the lovely Emma Chambers has died unexpectedly aged 53. Who could forget her fabulous portrayal of the charmingly dim-witted Alice Tinker in The Vicar of Dibley.

Here she is at her wedding to Hugo, complete with her Teletubby bridesmaids.

Very sad - lovely clip

So sad and so young.

Cro Magnon said...

My favourite clip from the series.

I believe she died from a heart attack, but it's not yet confirmed.

Graham Edwards said...

Her particular style of comedy acting was a joyous talent.

New World said...

Very sad so young. I noticed in her obituary this morning that her brother and sister founded the famous Storm model agency, and still run it, who of course discovered Kate Moss.

Such sad news ...... such a brilliant actress ... loved her in Notting Hill as well. I just read that she had asthma attacks. Charlotte Coleman, another lovely actress who was in Four Weddings, died age 33 from an asthma attack. XXXX

Jean said...

Such a shame, she was refreshingly unique. Lovely clip, which I've not seen before. I also loved her in Notting Hill.

Cro Magnon said...

She was a one-off.

Cro Magnon said...

I didn't know about Storm. Good for them.

Cro Magnon said...

I don't think she made a bad film. Yes, poor Charlotte Coleman; she really made 4 weddings the success that it was.

Cro Magnon said...

She was good in everything. This clip of the wedding is my favourite.

That's the only V. of D. I have seen. Very funny. Sad.

Sue said...

The best episode ever. Poor Alice.

Surprising news when I heard it today, at the very young age of 53. What a great role she played so well in VofD.

So sad to hear this - a very talented actress and so effortlessly funny.

She made people laugh and forget their troubles in her short life. She did good.

Sorry to hear about Alice's passing. I enjoyed watching The Vicar, but had never seen that episode. Thanks for sharing it.

I feel sad when I realise that I have had thirty more years than she had - she was always a delight.

I loved the Vicar of Dibley so much and Alice was perfect, my favorite.
Very sad news.

cheers, parsnip

Cro, not sure if you watch BBC TV, but the episode of Alice's wedding has just been shown as a tribute. As delightful as it was 20 odd years ago. Emma had such perfect timing, naturally funny, such a loss.
RIP.

Cro Magnon said...

We do get BBC, but I must have missed it. Shame; I'd loved to have seen it again.
