Picture edit
The picture should be changed. How are we to know which woman from the video cover is Ms. Kendal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.89.173 (talk) 01:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Struggling actress? edit
I am baffled by the lead statement "Kendal struggled in her career until 1975". My recollection was that she was frequently on television in the years leading up to the Good Life casting and she was chosen for the role specifically because of her popularity and the regard with which she was already held by the British public. Examine her entry at IMDB and see if the long list of regular appearances in TV shows indicates an actress that is "struggling" to find work. If anything the struggle came after her Barbara Good, as she was so clearly identified with that role. 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 18:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Photograph August 2019 edit
What is it with that photograph? Is her forehead really like that? It's a terrible photo and looks as though somebody tried to smooth out wrinkles and did an abysmal job of it. It needs replaced.
- Not as easy as you may think, see Wikipedia:Image use policy. We need photos that are freely editable and reusable, and those are hard to find. --GRuban (talk) 21:18, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- GRuban, I'm very sorry, I'm sure it's not as easy as people think, and I appreciate your efforts in this area. But I think that image of Kendal is shockingly poor, probably as an unavoidable function of it's source. Without the context of seeing it here, and looking where it case from, I would be very hard pressed to identify her from that image. I wonder might it be best to wait for a better image? Kind regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- It certainly could be better, but that's true of much of our content. Just as the answer to a poorly written article isn't to delete it, but to rewrite it, the answer to a less than ideal image is to replace it with a better one. Please, do write her and her friends, coworkers, and acquaintances, and ask them to release a better one - I can point to form letters for doing that if you like. Until then, I do believe this image is an accurate depiction of her, so much better than not having one. --GRuban (talk) 12:53, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I guess it's marginally better than the image at Alistair Appleton, which frankly I found embarrassing. I'm sure her friends, coworkers, and acquaintances could all do without my begging letters. She no loner has huge media visibility, so I'm guessing a capture from some other media source is unlikely.
