| | Patricia Routledge |
 | | Patricia Routledge was born in Birkenhead, Cheshire, on 17 February 1929, and educated at Birkenhead High School and the University of Liverpool, where she gained an Honours degree in English Literature and Language. |
 | | A substantial hit in London, Routledge went with the play to New York in October 1966, beginning an association with Broadway that would result in some of her finest work in musical theatre. |
 | | Indeed, there was nothing of interest for her to do in Britain, where she steadily built a reputation as an outstanding actress, not least in leading roles opposite Alastair Sim, who became almost a mentor to her. |
