These Beloved Stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age Are Still Alive And Enjoying Life In Retirement
Thelma Barlow – 1929
The television actress rose to fame with her performance as Mavis Wilton in Coronation Street, the soap opera on ITV. She also stole hearts with her role as Dolly Bellfield in the Dinnerladies, a much popular sitcom. Besides that, she was also in the sci-fi show, Doctor Who. Barlow attended Huddersfield Technical College to gain knowledge in typing and shorthand at the inception of her career and also joined the amateur dramatics group.
She soon started playing important roles in various theatre productions and attained huge fame and popularity in the 70s decade. Thelma has been active in the circuit since the year 1967. However, now that she is in her 90s, she has cut down on the number of projects she signs.
But, the good news is that she hasn’t yet taken retirement. Thelma walked down the aisle with Graham Barlow from 1956 to 1983 and is the mother of two. We hope Where the Heart Is star is taking good care of herself and continues to have a healthy and happy life!
