Signature

Dame Barbara Ann Windsor DBE (née Deeks, formally Knight; 6 August 1937 – 10 December 2020) was an English actress. In a career that spanned nearly seven decades, she was best known for her roles in the Carry On films and for portraying Peggy Mitchell in the BBC soap opera EastEnders.

Early life

Barbara Ann Deeks was born in Shoreditch, London, England on 6 August 1937,[1] as the only child[2] of Rose Alexandra Deeks[3] (née Ellis; 1912–1981),[4][5] a dressmaker, and John Henry James Deeks (1915–2004),[6][7] a bus driver. They lived on Angela Street.[8] Her birth was registered in Stepney.[9]

Education

Windsor attended St Mary's Infants' School in Stoke Newington, Hackney.[10][11] Her mother sent her to Madame Behenna's Juvenile Jollities, a drama school. She passed her 11-plus exams, gaining the top mark in North London, and earned a scholarship for a place at Our Lady's Catholic High School, Stamford Hill, although she was expelled because she argued with the reverend mother. She moved to the Aida Foster School in Golders Green, Barnet, where she took elocution lessons.[12] She studied shipping management at Bow Technical College.[13]

Evacuation

In 1939, at the start of World War II, Windsor's father was called up for the war, so she and her mother went to live with her mother's family in Yoakley Road in Stoke Newington. Her mother initially refused to let her be evacuated, but conceded after one of her school friends was killed by a bomb during an air raid.[12][10] She was evacuated to Blackpool at the age of six, to live with a couple, but they attempted to sexually abuse her.[11] A neighbour heard her screams and alerted the authorities. The couple were arrested and found to not be married, but to be brother and sister.[12]

Windsor moved in with a schoolfriend and her parents, although they struggled to cope with her loud behaviour. They sent her to dancing school, which sparked her interest in performing, although one night after a class, she found her friend's father kissing another woman in a bus shelter.[12] Humiliated by this, she was sent back to London in 1944 along with a note from her dance teacher which read: "Barbara is a born show-off who loves to perform."[11]

Youth

Windsor was hospitalised with rheumatism as a child. She spent some time at Great Ormond Street Hospital in Bloomsbury, Camden.[14] Her stage name of "Windsor" was inspired by the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953.[15] By the time she was 16, her parents had divorced, and she was unwillingly made to testify against her father in court. Awarded to her mother, following the divorce, her father ceased all contact with his daughter, and would ignore her if he saw her in the street for many years afterwards.[12]

Windsor's mother married Leonard Thomas Atkinson (1913–1979)[16][17] in Stoke Newington in October 1956.[18]

Career

Early career

Windsor began her career on stage in 1950, at the age of 13, making her uncredited debut as a schoolgirl in comedy film The Belles of St. Trinian's (1954). Her credited debut came in the role of Ponytail in the neo-noir crime thriller film Too Hot to Handle (1960). Her television debut came during the television series Dreamer's Highway.[13] She later appeared in musical shows Variety Parade, The Jack Jackson Show and Six-Five Special, regularly singing with bands. She then became a regular cabaret act at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in Soho. She went on to do the same at the Winston's club alongside Danny La Rue and Amanda Barrie.[11]

Theatre Workshop

Windsor joined Joan Littlewood's[19] Theatre Workshop at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, where she came to prominence in their 1959 stage production Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be[20] and Littlewood's film Sparrows Can't Sing (1963), achieving a BAFTA nomination for Best British Film Actress.[21]

Carry On

Windsor appeared in nine of the Carry On films; as Daphne Honeybutt aka Agent Brown Cow in Carry On Spying (1964), as Nurse Sandra May in Carry On Doctor (1967), as Babs in Carry On Camping and as Goldie Locks aka Muriel Bloggs in Carry On Again Doctor (1969), as Bettina in Carry On Henry (1971), as Nurse Susan Ball in Carry On Matron and as Sadie Tompkins in Carry On Abroad (1972), as Hope Springs in Carry On Girls (1973), and as Harriet/Harry in Carry On Dick (1974).[22]

Windsor appeared in several Carry On... television and compilation specials between 1964 and 1977. She also appeared in all four of the Carry On Christmas Television specials, and eight episodes of the Carry On Laughing television series.[23]

Windsor appeared with several of the Carry On team in the West End revue Carry On London! between 1973 and 1975.[24]

Windsor was strongly identified with the Carry On films for many years, which restricted the roles she was offered later in her career.[11]

In June 2021, by which time Windsor had died, a bikini she wore during Carry On Spying, which flew off during outdoor aerobic exercises, sold at auction for £9,500.[25][26]

EastEnders

Windsor was cast in the role of Margaret "Peggy" Mitchell (née Thomas, later Butcher; 1942–2016) in the BBC soap opera EastEnders,[27] taking over the role from Jo Warne.[28] Peggy's first appearance as a regular was broadcast on 7 November 1994, during episode 1049.[29] The characters reintroduction came from producer Barbara Emile, and was the mother of the already established Mitchell family; Phil (Steve McFadden), Grant (Ross Kemp) and Sam (Danniella Westbrook/Kim Medcalf).[30] Peggy was the main focus of a breast cancer storyline in 1996 and 1997, which was touched on in 1999 and 2000, and revisited in 2016.[31] Windsor was forced to take a long break due to poor health,[32][33] with Peggy departure broadcast on 23 May 2003.[34] Peggy appeared in two episodes in September 2004, before returning as a regular on 8 September 2005.[35] Windsor announced in October 2009 that she would be leaving the show.[36][37] She filmed her last scenes on 17 July 2010,[38][39] and Peggy's departure was broadcast on 10 September, during EastEnders Fire Week.[40][41] The theme tune was reworked for Peggy's exit,[42][43] titled "Peggy's theme".[44] Peggy made guest appearances on 20 September 2013,[45] 25 September 2014, 17 February 2015[46] (as part of the show's 30th anniversary celebrations), and 15 January 2016.[47] Peggy returned for six episodes between 9 and 17 May,[48] where the character was killed off in a suicide storyline.[49][50] Peggy's voice is last heard in the following episode, broadcast on 19 May, when the full "Peggy's theme" was played. Peggy's funeral aired on 4 July; "Peggy's theme" was used.[51]

Windsor featured, as Peggy Mitchell, during the twelfth and penultimate episode in the second series ("Army of Ghosts") of the science fiction television series Doctor Who.[52] The episode was broadcast on 1 July 2006.[53]

Windsor and Pam St Clement (Pat Evans), took part in EastEnders: Back to Ours to celebrate 30 years of EastEnders on 12 February 2015. They looked back on some of their characters' most dramatic moments.[54]

On 25 January 2022, by which time Windsor had died, an episode aired in which Peggy's son Phil Mitchell hears his mother's voice giving him advice. The scene was made using archived audio from previous episodes.[55]

Later career

Windsor provided the voice of the Dormouse in Walt Disney's live-action adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (2010), directed by Tim Burton.[56][57] She reprised her voice role of the Dormouse in the film Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016).[58][59]

Windsor fronted a TV campaign for online bingo site Jackpotjoy as the Queen of Bingo in September 2010.[60] In June 2022, by which time Windsor had died, on National Bingo Day, the famous dress she wore for the television advertisements was put up for auction, with all proceeds being donated to Alzheimer's Research UK.[61][62][63]

Windsor made a cameo appearance in an episode of the mockumentary television comedy series Come Fly with Me in January 2011.[64]

Windsor was invited to switch on the Blackpool Illuminations in 2016.[65]

Windsor retired in 2017, after 67 years in the industry.[68]

Personal life

Windsor resided in Marylebone, London.[69] Some portraits of her have been displayed in the National Portrait Gallery.[70]

Windsor was best friends with fellow actress Anna Karen. The pair met while filming Carry On Camping. Karen later went on to play Peggy Mitchell's sister Aunt Sal in EastEnders on-and-off for 20 years.[12][71]

Marriages

Windsor married Ronald James Knight (1934–2023),[72][73] a nightclub owner, in Edmonton, Essex on 2 March 1964. They later separated and their divorce was finalised in January 1985.[74] Her Carry On films co-star Kenneth Williams, his mother and his sister accompanied the couple on their honeymoon.[75]

Windsor began dating Stephen J Hollings (born 1955),[76] a chef and restaurateur, who was 18 years her junior, in 1983. They dated for three years, before marrying in Jamaica on 12 April 1986. They later ran a pub/restaurant called The Plough in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.[77] They separated in 1994 and their divorce was finalised the following year.[12]

Windsor met Scott Harvey Mitchell (born 1963),[78] a former actor, who was 25 years her junior, through his mother in 1992. They dated for seven years,[79] before marrying at The Dorchester in Westminster, London on 8 April 2000.[80] They were married for 20 years until her death.[81][82] She left £4.6 million of her fortune to him.[71]

Children

Windsor had five abortions; three in her 20s, and the last at the age of 42. She said she never wanted children as a result of her father rejecting her after her parents' divorce.[12][83]

Relationships

Windsor had a one-night stand with East End criminal Reggie Kray prior to her marriage to Knight.[84] She also had a longer relationship with his elder brother Charlie Kray.[85] She was engaged to Cliff Lawrence, a singer, in the late 1950s, but he physically beat her.[86] She dated Gary Crosby in the 1960s. She had brief sexual encounters with James Booth, Victor Mature, Anthony Newley, Ronnie Scott, George Best, and Maurice Gibbs; the latter two while she was still married.[12][87]

Windsor had a well-publicised affair with her fellow actor and co-star Sid James, starting in 1973. She was initially uninterested in James, 24 years her senior, but later stated that she thought she would have sex with him once, and then he would leave her alone; however, James reportedly became obsessed with her and suffocatingly possessive of her. After the affair began to take a toll on her mental health, she ended it in 1976.[88][89]

Charity work

Windsor became a patron of the Amy Winehouse Foundation in 2012, having been friends with Amy Winehouse.[90] In 2014, she unveiled a statue of Winehouse in Camden Market.[91]

Windsor and her husband became ambassadors for Alzheimer's Society on her 82nd birthday in August 2019. On the same day, they appeared in a video for the charity, in which she said: "Unite with me, against dementia". Her husband highlighted the problems many face with the disease, and urged viewers to sign a letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, saying he "urgently needs to address these challenges."[92]

Windsor suffered a debilitating case of the Epstein–Barr virus between 2003 and 2005.[93]

Windsor was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in April 2014. She chose not to make the news of her diagnoses public, but it was known to her friends and colleagues. Her husband publicly revealed her condition on 10 May 2018.[94][95] Her health and mental state soon began deteriorating, and she had moments when she no longer recognised her husband.[96] On 3 August 2020, it was reported by BBC News that she had been moved into a care home in London.[97]

The service was attended by Ross Kemp (Grant Mitchell), Christopher Biggins, Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Anna Karen (Aunt Sal), Jane Moore, and Jamie Borthwick (Jay Brown). Her funeral programme featured the famous photo of her in Carry On Camping, a photo that she said "will follow me right to the end". She was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium in London.[115]
