My very first crush.
I remember I couldn't take my eyes off her when I was allowed to watch Till Death Us Do Part in the 60s.

So clever my foot fell off.
Another one gone..
I remember watching her as a youngster in Wurzel Gummidge with John Purtwee .

RIP Una. I too remember her as Aunt Sally when I was a kid.
RIP Una, I can even remember back to when she was Cliff’s girlfriend in Summer Holiday!
A classic 60’s girl, RIP Una
Ah more sad news, she always seemed eternally youthful.
RIP.

Loved her to bits in Till Death us Part also loved watching in Worzel with my kids when they were young. RIP Una
I couldn't say it any better, so I won't. RIP Una.

A true loss, I've watched her in so many things over the years and she really could act. RIP and goodbye.
F.T.F.A.
Another childhood favourite gone; the clock doesn’t stop.
RIP.
Nice cup of tea & a slice of cake please Aunt Sally!
RIP Una
Very sad, when all your favourite childhood heros start to move towards the stars. Una was the perfect Aunt sally. No one could have done that better.
Ah, sorry to hear that.

A childhood crush of mine too as Aunt Sally. A lovely combination of purity, chic and mischief. Didn't realise the Cliff connection until yesterday. RIP dear Una.
A good career without the pressures that fame brings it would seem. That role in til Death....was fantastic for her, working against the monster Alf Garnett (cant imagine that series being made now) and her long suffering mother. Obit in the Guardian lists all the stage stuff she did - theatre was her environment with TV an added bonus. Surprised she wasnt in Austin Powers as it was prob like that in her life.
Saw her on stage in London many years ago, what a lovely lady she was.
RIP Una

She always seemed such a genuinely lovely lady, and like a lot of us was very much a part of my childhood in Worzel Gummidge etc.
I always used to enjoy her name being referenced from her ‘Give Us a Clue’ days on the Radio 4 show ‘I’m Sorry I haven’t A Clue’.
One of my favourite lines delivered by the late great Humphrey Littleton was;
The experts expert on Give Us A Clue, was Lionel Blair. Who can ever forget opposing team captain Una Stubbs sitting open mouthed as he tried to pull off Twelve Angry Men in under two minutes!
