There was a bit of confusion around this as she used multiple pseudonyms in her career and changed her name by deed poll at one point, but Candy Davis who appeared in the Minder episode "Rembrandt Doesn't Live Here Anymore" has died from motor neurone disease. But "Candy" was only one phase of her life. While we would know her best as Miss Belfridge in Are You Being Served?, it turns out that she went on to become the acclaimed crime fiction writer Mo Hayder. An extraordinary life.
There's an excellent obituary in the Times, but it is behind a paywall.

That's sad news and a young age to go.
The sexiest woman to appear in Minder imo and although her character was a dumb blonde bimbo type, in real life she obviously had a lot more to offer as Mo Hayder.
RIP.

The bird man and the treatment are both good but very dark crime books always thought they written by a much older author

What a shame. RIP Candy Davis. The cast of Are You Being Served loses another member. There can't be many left now. I can only think of Mike Berry and Moira Foot.

I believe Penny Irving (young Mr Grace's secretary) is still alive and well. RIP Candy. Of course. My apologies to Miss Irving, and of course Vivienne Johnson and Doremy Vernon who I forgot who all did more than one appearance. Although, hopefully they would all defer to the multi talented Candy Davis. |

Very sad news. I didn't know anything about her career as a writer, what an extraordinary life as stated above. RIP Clare/Candy

Ah, that explains the names. Can't blame her if she wanted to work in the industry with the lifestyle she may have had. RIP Candy

Another actress/actor who is a favorite among Minder fans, her part may have been small in 'Rembrandt Doesn't Live Here Anymore' but it was memorable and not just for her good looks. I've seen some of the episodes of 'Are You Being Served' that she was in and thought her performance good, an actress that really should have gone on to appear in more TV shows. RIP  |
