She premiered the role of Mollie Ralston, in the very first production of the Mousetrap apparently. Perhaps better known these days as Mrs Richard Attenborough.

Spelling error on my may ...it is indeed Sims.

RIP Sheila.

Sim..... no 's' on the end.

[mikey4444]

Already corrected by me above Jack !

[jackthehat]

No you didn't.....you still put an 's' on the end. :o)

Interestingly, the article calls her "Sims" in the headline and "Sim" in the text.

[mikey4444]

Variety refer to her by the surname Sims, and this is what led me astray...my aplogies to her family.

[jackthehat]

Sir Richard was often asked how his wife 'Sylvia' (Syms) was; and conversely Sylvia Syms was regularly asked about Sir Richard.

[jennyjoan]

never knew her as an actress - thought at first it was sylvia sims

[retrocop]

The spelling error started on the first word of the header title!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Shelia????

[mikey4444]

I can understand why people got her confused by Sylvia Syms....the names are very similar.

[mikey4444]

I can see that I haven't covered myself in glory with this post ! Apologies to everyone.

But anyway, whoever she was and however she spelt her name I think we all agree she was a fine actress (sorry, actor) and an all round good egg !!!

For once a "Thespian" I'd heard of :-)

You didn't have to ! :-)
No but thanks for your enquiry. I hope to pick them up safe and sound at Gatwick at 2110 tonight. The longest two weeks of our lives.
He left blighty with two gorgeous little daughters and a partner. Hopefully he arrives on terra firma with two still gorgeous daughters and a partner who is wearing a new ring and is soon to become our daughter in law (proper).
That little ray of sunshine helped a little but the worry never left me. I will be happy when it's "wheels down" at LGW.

Hopefully he will have learnt his lesson Retro !
