Patricia Hayes - From Tragedy to Triumph

Please join me in this video, Patricia Hayes - From Tragedy to Triumph.
Despite feeling her height and appearance were stifling her ambitions, Patricia Hayes never stopped working. When her personal life crumbled and she found herself a single mother of two children and pregnant with a third, she summoned her bravery and bags of resolve and made a marvelous success of being both an actress and a mother.
The fact that prominent comedians like Arthur Askey, Tony Hancock, Arthur Haynes, Benny Hill, and Frankie Howerd all wanted to work with the petite, affable character actress Patricia Hayes is perhaps the highest praise that can be awarded to her. Patricia Hayes was one of the finest straight actresses in the profession, whether she was playing a whining battleaxe, a smart fashion editor, or a mother doing the washing up in a spoof commercial.
Please join me as I take flowers to remember the life and work of the amazing Patricia Hayes - Patricia is buried at Compton Cemetery also known as Watts Cemetery Chapel - surrounded by beautiful scenery, the chapel at the center of the cemetery is an extraordinary building well worth a visit in itself - it's a mortuary chapel opened in 1898 - and is in the Gothic Revival, Romanesque Revival style. If you'd like to know more about it I'll leave a link here:

That was really lovely because Patricia Hayes deserves to be remembered with fondness and respect. Thank you once again Shar for a well researched and generous tribute. As you say, an excellent character actress is exactly what she was and thank goodness for 'Play for Today' giving her an overdue TV lead role, which she played with distinction. I always bracket Patricia with Irene Handl because they were from the same era, often playing similar types of roles with quite a few of the same comedy actors. My favourite part of hers was on radio in 'The Men from the Ministry' as a militant tea lady, circa 1970. It's a cliche, but we won't see the like of her again.

I also remember her in a Sunday night series “On the Move.” A series of Public information films about people who have problems with literacy. It also starred Bob Hoskins. It had a catchy ( if corny) signature tune, that I remember to this day!! Another respectful tribute 💐

Another wonderful tribute video. Emotive and educational as always. Although they might not know her name, I'm sure more modern audiences would quickly recognise Patricia from classic films such as a Fish Called Wanda and Willow. Growing up, I mainly remember her from comedy roles on television. When I saw Edna for the first time a few years ago I was absolutely astounded by her acting in that tragic tale. The play didn't pull any punches and many scenes were very uncomfortable to watch. It really shone a light on homelessness, mental health problems and addiction when polite society was largely still trying to sweep those issues under the carpet. Being set in the 1960s, I like to believe we've moved on from those times and are a bit more enlightened now but probably not as much as we think we are.

Beautiful. Thank you for this. Such a talented lady and such a challenging life. People were far more stoic during my grandparents time. Even more so for Entertainers and especially for those associated with comedy. Nowadays, it seems that little-celebrities exploit their tragedies, either to gain a larger, sympathetic following, or to sell their stories for cash. I am not suggesting that this is wrong, or that the past was better. It just feels exploitative when some mediocre TV personality appears on daytime TV after they have been dropped from a soap. Perfect timing to for a trivial (But somehow life-threatening?) ailment to crop-up. Fair play to Patricia. She understood that everyone has their own issues to handle. Why burden them with hers, when she can make people smile instead? Thank you again for a lovely retrospective on the life of a lovely lady.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and I absolutely agree with you! Patricia had many challenges and it definitely wasn’t a life of all glamour and fun - and yes totally - stars of yesterday went to great lengths to entertain without attempting to burden their fans with their own personal problems or illnesses - was that better? I honestly don’t know - but it’s hard to laugh with a comedian who you know is having a hard time with illness - I just don’t know but you’ve made me think!!! Thank you so much for watching! Xx

Thanks for this, I only experienced the end of Patricia’s career, it’s lovely to hear about what they did before I was around and you present it all so well. I had no idea she was buried at at Compton Village. Did you go into Watts chapel when you were there? The internal art noveau decorations are breathtaking. Aldous Huxley who wrote ‘Brave New World’ is also buried there.

I did!!!! I didn’t take any video or photos but I did stand there and soak up the atmosphere! It’s absolutely amazing in the chapel! I also visited Aldous Huxley and paid my respects ❤ it’s a truly beautiful place - and The views across the fields are stunning - I didn’t take the dogs in as no dogs allowed but we did walk them near the cafe where they were allowed and they loved it! ❤❤❤ Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for watching ❤❤❤

Thank You so much for this and I enjoy your method of comprehensively giving the background to the people that you feature.:) One very common and slightly, sad, recurrence is how most of the graves of these famous people are neglected with, barely, visible headstones and no flowers, and yet she had 3 children and died "only" 25 years ago. It's a regular theme, whatever Grave that you see. I compare it to my beloved Mum who died 27 years ago. Akk these children od the famous can't live so far away.

@BeautifulBadandBizarre 7 ай бұрын

My pleasure, thank you for your lovely comment xx I hear you! I think sometimes the children have moved to other countries - or the person hasn't any family left, there are many cases of that happening - also, I think there are many reasons people dont tend to graves, sometimes I think they find it too upsetting to go, sometimes they are just busy and time goes by too fast. As you know watching my videos, I think graves and memorial are extremely important, and it is heartwarming for me to hear that you are looking after your Mum's grave xx
