Obituary: Fenella Fielding
Actress Fenella Fielding has died at the age of 90 after suffering a stroke.
She was a serious actress remembered for a single, stand-out comic performance.
Fenella Fielding survived a violent upbringing to play Ibsen, Shakespeare and Euripides on stage. As an artist, her sheer versatility captivated both Federico Fellini and Noel Coward. This was a woman of wit and wisdom who kept a copy of Plato beside the bed.
But, for millions, that serious side is long forgotten. Instead, she will forever be Valeria: the camp vamp star of Carry On Screaming - draped on a divan in a skin-tight dress; her voice oozing with sex appeal and sporting eyelashes like upturned claws.
She turned down all future Carry On work but the die was cast. In the public mind, she was the quintessential Sixties femme fatale, delivering double entendres with lashings of false innocence.

KC: I’m OK thank you. I had to have an operation as I had a problem with my aorta. I should have had it done years ago. It is the same thing that Bruce Forsyth had. It’s a slow recovery but I am getting there.
CP: I am sorry to hear that but it sounds like you are on the mend!
KC: I am, thank you.
CP: You have had such a long and wonderful career, which I will go into more a bit later, but I will start with the obvious; what was it like to work on the ‘Carry On’s’?
KC: It was fantastic. It really was seen as a leg up at the time if you were asked to do a 'Carry On', it really was and that is the truth. I was very lucky having come from a working-class background to be trained at The Bristol Old Vic. It wasn’t how it is these days of course. You had to pass an audition and then, if successful, get a grant, which I did. God, you learnt so much! Being asked to do a 'Carry On' really was an honour.

CP: It is widely believed that you had a supporting role in it as one of the sailors?
KC: No, how dare you! (laughs). No, I never did any extra work or background roles like that. I wasn’t i
