Keith, who was best known for starring in sitcoms The Good Life and To the Manor Born, passed away “peacefully” at her Surrey home, her family announced today.
Keith played the snobby suburbanite Margo Leadbetter in the BBC sitcom, and went on to win a BAFTA for Best Comedy Performer for the role.
The star was also known to audiences for playing the lead role of bereaved aristocrat Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in the hit comedy To the Manor Born, while other TV credits included Dixon of Dock Green and the military sitcom The Army Game.
Titled The Windbreak War, the episode follows Margo (Keith) as she sparks a row with her neighbours when she plans to have a new wind-break erected in her garden that would cast a shadow over their new fruit patch.
"The family is grateful for the care and support she received throughout her treatments, and ask that their privacy be respected at this time."
