Bella Emberg: Tributes As ‘Huge Comedy Talent’ Dies

byFastnews
Tributes have been paid to the “huge comedy talent” Bella Emberg, who has died, aged 80.
The British actress will be remembered for her character Blunder Woman, the comic sidekick of hapless superhero Cooperman in the 1980s television programme The Russ Abbot Show.
She was “a woman of immense warmth and generosity”, Abbot said.
Emberg also appeared on The Benny Hill Show, Z Cars, and Doctor Who in a television career spanning six decades.
“She was not only a great sport but a huge comedy talent. I count myself very lucky to have worked alongside her,” Abbot added.
“She really was a one off.”
Actor Les Dennis paid tribute to his “funny, lovely friend”, while friend and pianist Bobby Crush described her as a “truly gentle soul”.
The “funniest fairy”, comedy actor Paul Chuckle added, as her agent said she would be “greatly missed”.
Emberg had just finished filming a new Sky One comedy, In the Long Run, created by Idris Elba and due to be released later this year.
