One of her most notable roles was that of Thelma Farris/Chambers in Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? She would also make an impression with her role as Madge in Still Open All Hours.
She was a talented musician, playing and composing for the cello. She was able to combine her acting and musical skills several times in her career, such as in 2004 when she was cast in Cello And The Nightingale.
Forsyth died in December 2023, at 83 years of age.
