Is the actress who played Annie Sugden still alive?

Surely she'd be 173 by now, she was positively ancient when I watched as a child nearly 40 yrs ago!

Amos and most of her generation have shuffled off so I would guess she's passed too.

Wikipedia thinks so (and I can't find any links that suggest otherwise):

I am surprised!

The wonderfully gruesome DeathList (which tries to predict who's going to pop their clogs each year) reckons she's still around:

I thought I'd read that she was dead.

Yes she is still alive and she's 95. She is the older sister of Lord (Brian) Rix who will be a mere 91 next week.

Are yes the wonderful Brian Rix of the Whitehall Theatre fame, I wonder if he is still taking his trousers down and running in and out doors?
