Liz Smith - The Royle family's nana

[MacAdder]

Royle Family hugely overrated sitcom, never quite understood the attraction.
Liked Liz Smith though and I thought she played a good part.
Also "In Loving Memory" I have fond memories of.
Respect for Liz Smith.

I thought her best performance was in A Private Function (got a BAFTA), and as Mrs Bag in "The Testing of Eric Olthwaite" (Ripping Yarns). It turns out she was a bit of a philosopher too:

"Begin somewhere; you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do".

"To deny we need and want power is to deny that we hope to be effective".

"One of the best parts of growing older? You can flirt all you like since you've become harmless".



She will be missed.
