‘But there were times when I thought ‘Move on Jude, just get on with it.’ But it just seemed to roll over.
She continued: ‘It’s a funny thing. You’re there and you think ‘I’ve had enough now.’ I thought the character had reached a certain point unless it got reinvented. And of course, they did. They kept reinventing a bit. ‘I suppose we all go through that phase, but some people really act upon it.’
Fans flocked to social media to post heartfelt tributes for the late actress.
