  Pauline Collins at Hollywood.com
Collins didn't become an international star until 1970, when she appeared as the charming, saucy maid Sarah in the first season of London Weekend Television's classic "Upstairs Downstairs" (debuting in the US on PBS in 1974).
Collins' husband (since 1969), John Alderton, appeared on that show, and the two were also featured on such British series as "Thomas and Sarah" (an ill- advised "Upstairs Downstairs" spin-off), "Forever Green", the popular "No--Honestly" and the amusingly fey "Wodehouse Playhouse".
Collins ventured to Germany to film "My Mother's Courage" (1995, released in the USA in 1997), a concentration camp drama in which she protrayed writer George Tabori's mother.

Working diligently throughout the intervening years, Pauline struggled to expand the library's resources in her areas, making the building of a research collection in Iberian languages her personal crusade.

 endowment
Over thirty years ago, Pauline Collins, Latin American Bibliographer at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Library, began building a collection of materials to support the research and teaching of the Latin American studies faculty and the needs of students.
Today, this collection is the third largest in New England (after Harvard and Yale) and the largest at any public university in the Northeast U.S. During her years of service, Pauline used all her skills to defend the budget for Latin American materials and seek additional sources of support.
Their hope was that those who had benefited from the collection in the past would want to ensure the growth of the endowment and the collection to ensure that future generations of faculty and students, undergraduate and graduate, would have access to the materials they need.
