Press clippings

A decent biopic of the Carry On and EastEnders star, strung together from archive and talking heads, and featuring the usual tabloid suspects, but also benefiting from friends and colleagues who know what happened because they were there. It's useful as a primer on Windsor's early work in theatre and film, where her energy and skill were utilised more artfully than in the soaps and sauce she is better remembered for.

Jack Seale, The Guardian, 14th July 2017
