Diane Holland

Diane Holland who played Yvonne Stuart-Hargeaves in Hi-De-Hi has died.

B 1930 - D 24th January 2009 aged 78

Not strictly a Reel Streeter, but as she did rub shoulders with Leslie Dwyer (Mr Partridge) and Kenneth Connor (Uncle Sammy), it's OK.

Well known in the theatre and on TV, she was in Crossroads, Casualty and Some Mothers Do 'Ave' Em.

From a Hi-De-Hi episode:
Barry and Yvonne in single beds, hear an intruder next door.
Barry listening: 'All I can hear is loud snoring'
Yvonne: 'That's the story of my life'.
