does anyone know what this lovely lady die with? she always came across as being a caring lovable lady in real life as well as prisoner. God bless you Gerda
Research tells me that the lovely Ms. Nicolson died in hospital from a brain haemorrhage, ten days after collapsing in her dressing room, where she was preparing to go on stage to perform in a play. She was fifty-four.
for her age, she has a great quality and beauty about her, she would have been stunning, in her teens and twenty's, because she still oozes that beauty, i'm not religious, but i guess, if there is a god, he called on an angel.
This was recorded especially for Prisoner fans in '91 to show on a big screen at a party in Birmingham, England to mark the final episode being shown on Central TV - lots of cast members were at Barbara's home and it's great to see this rare footage of Gerda. She is sadly missed by all Prisoner viewers.
Lovely clip for a lovely lady. She filled the shoes of Anne Reynolds perfectly, and was sadly taken away from us far too soon. Her work and memories will always be with us courtesy of the Prisoner DVD's. We love you Gerda.
Thanks so much for posting this rare bit of footage. It's great to see the actresses out of characters and to hear them talk fondly of the show. It's such a shame Gerda was taken away so soon. :(
wow that is a good rare bit of footage, i really enjoyed watching it. cheers for posting this! what happend to Gerda was tragic and a waste aswell, she was a very talented actress.
Nicolson collapsed in her dressing room prior to going on stage for a theatre performance in 1992 and died in hospital 10 days later. She was 54 years old and the cause of death was a brain haemorrhage.
Sad to think she died the following year to this she looks so well!!!!
I had to choke back the tears watching that clip- Thank you so much for posting it. I'm so glad that Gerda lived long enough to see how much of a success Prisoner and her work as a wondeful actress. RIP xx
I KNEW I recognised Barbara. Is she still with us? Or has she passed on also?

She was a pretty lady. I miss her even though I never knew her in person. I know she's in heaven along with the others from Prisoner.

I never knew about this. Slightly spooky to watch but appreciated.
Ive never seen Gerda do anything after Prisoner and I must admit it did make me think about life...
