The Express reports. She went on to thank hospital staff who cared for her. Liza's statement said: "Just to let people know, my beautiful, brilliant, opinionated, loud, warm-hearted, talented and singular mother died on Thursday night at 10.

30pm. “My sister Cory and I were by her hospital bed for 30 hours straight and in the end, as is so often the case, she slipped away in our absence with a beautiful nurse called Mercy (you couldn’t write it) caring for her. “The care she received in those last days at Addenbrookes was remarkable - considered, careful and empathetic - and to a person, they all said how much they had loved my mum, how she had made them laugh and how she had always been interested in them. ”Looking back on her mum’s relationship with her father, screenwriter Jack Pulman, Liza continued: “She was 43 years without my father, 30 years without a cigarette and 20 years without a drink but never without a humbug and I like to think that now, she is sitting with my father having a large dry - martini and a cigarette. "Barbara was known for her role as the future Emperor Nero's mother, Agrippina, in the landmark 1976 BBC serial drama I, Claudius.

She appeared in Coronation Street in the early 1960s, 1980s and 1990s before returning in February 2007 as an old friend of Rita Sullivan called Doreen Fenwick until December that year.
