It must be noted that US day News does not confirm nor reject any of this information. If you read incorrect details, please, allow us to know.

Born on February 26, 1931, the British stage and television character actress gained fame for her roles in British television sitcoms, such as:

• Edna Hawkins aka “Mrs. H” in Shelley; 
• Elizabeth “Liz” Warden,
• The long-suffering next-door neighbor of Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances (1990–1995)
• Miss Davenport in Last of the Summer Wine (2003–2010)

Tewson attracted much attention to herself for her role as Elizabeth Warden, neighbor and reluctant confidant of social wannabe Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances.

The beloved comedy actress was shown in nearly every episode for the 5 series run, providing an often rattled but pragmatic counter to the scattered and clueless “Mrs. Bucket”.

Also, Josephine was featured alongside John Inman in Odd Man Out (1977), which is considered to be an unsuccessful sitcom. In the movie, they played half-brother/half-sister roles. Despite denying the idea in several interviews, she was rumored to be Inman’s cousin.

She also appeared in the 1984 children’s film Gabrielle and the Doodleman as the characters Mrs. Briggs (Gabrielle’s father’s housekeeper) and the Fairy Godmother.

As Miss Davenport in Last of the Summer Wine, She appeared semi-regularly from 2003 to 2010. It is a series written by Roy Clarke. Noted, Clarke has written Keeping Up Appearances as well.

Tewson also appeared in:

• two episodes of the documentary series Comedy Connections, talking about her work in Keeping Up Appearances (2004)
• opposite The Two Ronnies (2005).
• Playing the role of Iris in the radio drama Leaves in Autumn in 2009, written by Susan Casanove, and produced by the Wireless Theatre Company
