She became a household name in the 60s and 70s when she played Maggie in Irish soap The Riordans.
More recently, she was a judge on TV3's Bake Off.
Farewell Biddy White Lennon. I will miss your great wit & wisdom and your many thoughtful kindnesses to me. Ireland has lost a fearless advocate of real food. She spoke truth to power wherever she went with disarming charm. It’s so hard to say goodbye. https://t.co/GF9DG7wUEe
