Her name means "happiness" and that is exactly what she brought to millions of love-struck British boys when she made her grand entrance on The Good Life . Felicity Kendal, known as "Foo" to family and friends kept the male population spellbound and had been a valid contender of the most beautiful woman in the world by popular opinion. So much so that even her gluteus maximus won a jeans commercial contest in
cuddly frame, bright smile, and" eyes that a man could kill over" would have been sufficiant to qualify her in any TV show. However, viewers also saw an actress brought up in the theatre and displaying exeptional talent far beyond the requirements needed to make the Good Life a hit show. However, her abilities may have been the reason why The Good Life was a phenomenon. No "butts" about it, Felicity is fantastic! |

Felicity Kendal was born in Olton in Warwickshire by these two, Geoffery Bragg and Laura Liddell. Geoffery started as an engineer (the boring kind) . He decided on acting and met Laura in a Romeo and Juliet play. He was Romeo and Laura was Juliet (how convienient). They married and formed their own theatrical traveling company "Bragg-Liddell" and toured England. Felicity's sister "Jennifer" was born at this time. When the war started, Geoffery and Laura joined ENSA and toured India. After the war Felicity was born and the tour ended. Nine months later Geoffery formed yet another company and shipped out back to India with family in tow to start roughly a twenty year stint doing Shakespeare on the road. |

Geoffery and Laura on their wedding day. They were totally opposite in character. He was loud, eccentric and demanded his own way and she was quiet, kind and sweet. They however formed a bond that lasted their whole lives and beyond.Married 'til death did them part, it was the one unshakable constant in their otherwise changing un- certain lives. Never having had much money, they were indeed rich! |
