LONDON (Reuters) – British actress Mollie Sugden, best-known for her role as Mrs Slocombe in the television comedy series "Are You Being Served?," has died at the age of 86.


Her agent Joan Reddin told newspapers Sugden died on Wednesday after a long illness. "She was a lovely, lovely person. She was a great professional," Reddin said.


With her hair highly coiffed , Sugden played the bossy Mrs Slocombe throughout the run of the BBC's innuendo-laden Are You Being Served? between 1972 and 1985.


Re-runs of the show in the United States in the 1990s gained her a new audience overseas.

When I think of Mrs. Slocombe, I always think of her rainbow of hair colors not found in nature. That, and her Pussy. I'm talking about her cat! Get your mind out of the gutter.
