Penelope Keith, a comic performer who shone as flinty but lovable upper-crust characters in British sitcoms The Good Life and To the Manor Born, has died aged 86.
Keith’s family said on Monday that she had been diagnosed with cancer and died at her home in Surrey, near London.
Keith began her acting career onstage and joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1963 but she found her greatest fame on television.
She won a Bafta (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) award in 1977 for The Good Life, playing Margo Leadbetter, a snobbish suburbanite appalled by her back-to-the-land neighbours Tom and Barbara Good, played by Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal.
Kendal called Keith a “comic genius”.
“She was a joy to know and work with, and she will be much missed,” Kendal said.
