Smoking

150 cigarattes a day?? I think that needs to be confirmed!

Indeed. I've put a citation needed line after that. I don't think it's even humanly possible Thegreatestuserever

That's bloody ridiculous! --Filthish 09:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

180 cigarettes? That's even better. For a "classic" six to seven minute smoke, that translates as around 20 hours. I find it hard to "assume good faith" with claims like that, with or without citation! Extenebris 15:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

24

Did she really play a part in 24 the tv series as it is American and she's English? I find that unbelievable.

Not according to imdb https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0113942/ Chevin (talk) 07:47, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

dob says 1927 and 1921 which is correct — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.181.172 (talk) 19:26, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unless she's like Doris Speed (whom made herself younger) then it's 1927. Plus it hardly helps to say you're 92 when you're 98 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.100.240.209 (talk) 07:04, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Who do you think you are ?

She appeared on the show "who do you think you are", and supposedly the oldest person to appear as the subject of the show.Eregli bob (talk) 09:34, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rabbits?

The Times has really gone to town, it seems: "As a child there was nothing Brown liked better than putting a rabbit in a biscuit tin, gassing it to death and then cutting it up. "Nowadays people would scream in horror at the thought,” she said, “but we were not sentimental about field animals. I loved dissection."" Seems to have caused a bit of a stir.
