A real shame. She was an exceptionally talented actress who was always engaging to watch. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-27986272
This has saddened me greatly. I was only watching her on Tuesday in the new All Creatures. I saw her Medea. Spellbinding. Wonderful tributes from Vanessa R,Stoppard and my favourite from Samuel West. Very wonderful actress,one of our greatest. RIP.
Indeed. A very fine theatrical actress from Moliere to Chekhov albeit late in her career. United with her daughter in that very fine whimsical, character driven series The Detectorists. A life well lived. Here is one of her very early performances on the small screen.
