Dame Jean Alexander Please!

If it was up to the late Lord Laurence Olivier, I bet Jean ALexander would have been made a Dame for her services to the BRitish television drama, COronation Street. Jean's contributions to the British soap as Hilda Ogden. In fact, she received the praise and respect of fans including Lord Laurence Olivier and John Parkinson C.B.E. I can't wait to read it! She is a British National Treasure who has played the beloved Hilda Ogden for over twenty years. It is an outrage that she never received any British National Honour for her services. Even though she left COronation Street, it earned its highest television rating. YOu can now find the beloved Jean Alexander on The Last of the Summer Wine playing Auntie Wainwright. Still, a British national treasure who should be honoured for her wonderful talent in making us laugh and cry.
