I REMEMBER WATCHING JEAN MARSH IN THE TV VERSION OF NINE TO FIVE PLAYING ROZ KEITH ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT TO FRANKLIN HART AS WELL AS ALICIA A ROBOT IN AN EPISODE OF THE ORIGINAL TWILIGHT ZONE (1959-64). SUCH A GREAT ACTRESS. REST IN PEACE JEAN MARSH.

You know, 165 Eaton Place became my home too and over the years thanks to modern technology I can revisit as often as I want, which is quite often, now and again. It grieves me immensely that almost all the fine actors have since passed away including the latest here in Jean Marsh who was part creator of these most wonderful entertaining series of life in Edwardian times. Thank you Jean, for brightening my life over all the years from the 1970's to date. I am sorry you have left us and I hope that you are now in a better place than the servant's hall at No 165 Eaton Place.

A brilliant and inspirational actor who will be remembered for her nuanced role as Rose in Upstairs, Downstairs. Sending condolences to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered. May she rest in peace with God by her side.

A talented actress that so many were familiar with and got to know from her many roles on TV and in the movies. Sincere condolences to the Marsh family, so very sorry for your loss. May God give strength and comfort to you in your time of loss.

I watched Upstairs Downstairs when it first aired here in the United States, and was hooked from the first moment. What a brilliant piece of work, how fascinating the glimpse into another time and culture. And to think that Jean Marsh herself was the co- creator was so impressive.
She broke my heart when her soldier fiancé died. Then for good measure she broke it again in that poignant episode of Twilight Zone.
Sometimes the passing of someone one has never met feels as immediate as does the death of a good friend. Goodbye, dear Ms. Marsh, may you rest in peace.

I would have loved to be on an asteroid alone with Jean Marsh!

Was living in London during the shooting of Upstairs Downstairs and was given the opportunity to appear as an extra in several scenes shot in a famous, old restaurant. I was excited by the prospect until it was revealed to me that Jean Marsh, a truly great English actress, would not be on set so I would have no prospect of meeting her. Even at the age of 81 I still feel the disappointment. Her interpretation of Rose is iconic, even by the highest standards of British acting. Rest in Peace, kind Spirit!

Forever in love with Rose.

I fell so in love with Upstairs Downstairs immediately when it aired here in the States. I identified with Rose very much, even though I am a straight male. She had such an enormous heart but was ever so lonely.
I was crushed when her Sergeant Gregory was killed in that ridiculous war. Thanks TONS for this series, Miss Marsh. I'm sure St. Peter will be honoured to greet you if he can tear himself away from his umpteenth viewing of the final episode, "Whither Shall I Wander."
