>BBC star died penniless despite 30 year career as she gave up huge fortune
A BBC nun who rose to fame on hit documentaries died with no money to her name.
Sister Wendy Beckett was one of the most unlikely television stars of the 1990s. A bespectacled nun who lived much of her life as a hermit in a caravan in Norfolk, she became a household name with BBC arts documentaries watched by millions. Yet, despite international fame and success, she died in 2018 without personal wealth, deciding to donate it to worthy charities.
