The hugely popular Scots actress is best known for her role in the children's TV series from the 1980s about a gran with superpowers.
Her niece added: "She had a very memorable voice. I remember my husband was watching Casualty one night, and I went 'that's Gudrun' as soon as I heard the voice." Another fan wrote: “Sad news coming in that Supergran AKA Gudru Ure has passed away at the grand old age of 98.” Born on March 12, 1926, she once played Desdemona to Orson Welles’ Othello. She also had starring roles in the 1954 film Man with a Million and in TV shows Garry Halliday and Armchair Theatre.
