Movies with Una Stubbs

Una Stubbs was a delightful and versatile British actress whose vibrant performances on stage, screen, and television captivated audiences for over five decades. Though she may be best known for her role as the kind-hearted landlady Mrs. Hudson on the hit series Sherlock, Stubbs was a true chameleon, seamlessly shifting between comedic and dramatic parts with ease. Stubbs first came to prominence in the 1960s, starring alongside Cliff Richard in the beloved musical comedy Summer Holiday. But it was her turn as the sharp-tongued Rita in the groundbreaking BBC sitcom Till Death Us Do Part that showcased her talents for biting wit and impeccable comic timing. Throughout her career, Stubbs continued to take on a wide range of memorable roles - from the eccentric Aunt Sally in the children's series Worzel Gummidge to the steely Miss Bat in The Worst Witch. Her versatility and commitment to her craft were further highlighted in her acclaimed performances in prestigious productions like the National Theatre's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Stubbs' warmth, charm, and consummate professionalism made her a beloved figure in the British entertainment industry. Even in her later years, she remained active, earning a BAFTA nomination for her subtle, nuanced work as Mrs. Hudson in Sherlock. With her passing in 2021, the industry lost a true treasure - a performer whose remarkable talent and boundless spirit left an indelible mark on the hearts of audiences.
