#Fact
1One of five actors to appear in all 69 episodes (plus the 1977 movie) for Are You Being Served? (1972), along with 'John Inman (I)' (Mr. Humphries), Frank Thornton (Captain Peacock), Wendy Richard (Miss Brahms), and Nicholas Smith (Mr. Rumbold). The same five also appeared in the sequel series, Are You Being Served? Again! (1992).
2She had two appearances, as different characters, in the UK television series Steptoe and Son (1962), the precursor to the US television series Sanford and Son (1972).
3After living a quiet life in Dorking Surrey Mollie passed away at Royal Surrey Hospital on the 1st July 2009 with her twin sons by her side.
4Upon her death, she was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium and her ashes were scattered in the property's rose garden as per her last wishes.
5Enjoyed cooking, gardening and driving fast cars.
6Her father ran an iron and steel foundry company.
7During World War II, she worked in a munitions factory in Keighley making shells for the Royal Navy.
8After graduation she spent eight years in repertory with a company that also included Eric Sykes and Roy Dotrice.
9Her speaking role in the San Francisco Opera's 1993 production of Donizetti's "Daughter of the Regiment" was her American stage debut.
10Close friend of Björk.
11Was compared with Lucille Ball by John Inman, who stated that both Ball and Sugden were among the very few actresses who were never afraid to do or accept anything for a laugh (such as having a pie thrown in the face or acting downright silly).
12Appeared on season three of Little Britain (2003) as herself. The character of Liz (David Walliams) is always bragging how she was the bridesmaid for Molly Sugden's wedding, to anyone and everyone, while her poor husband Clive (Matt Lucas) tries to hush her. In one episode, Liz starts again bragging about being Molly's bridesmaid. When Molly turns around (we first see only her back) she says to Liz that she only had one bridesmaid and the girl was called Helen, not Liz. Liz ends the skit with throwing a knife into Molly's back. The character of Liz was inspired by a friend of David Walliams who went to a wedding where he met an older woman who was claiming to have been Molly's bridesmaid.
13She remained great friends with the surviving cast members of Are You Being Served? (1972), attending several of their funerals before her own death, including John Inman in 2007 and Wendy Richard in 2009, just a few months before her own death.
14Two of her five grandchildren are named James and Emily.
15After the first episode of of Are You Being Served? (1972), she decided her hair was too plain for the outrageous personality of Mrs. Slocombe, so she bleached it white, then dying it a different colour for each subsequent episode in the first season. Unfortunately, the ends of bleached hair become "spongy," causing the dyes never to entirely wash out. Her twin 10 year old boys didn't appreciate being picked up from school "by a mother with multi-coloured ends." So, after the first season, when she saw the show was a hit, she asked the BBC to supply her with wigs instead of dying her hair a different colour every week.
16Has five grandchildren from her two sons, Robin and Simon.
17Twin sons, Robin and Simon, born October 1963, when Sugden was the relatively advanced age (for pregnancy) of 41.
18Attended Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London, England, UK.
