Who is she ?

Very talented actress. So sad.

Kate1949 Fri 16-Apr-21 17:12:07

She's been in loads of stuff. Peaky Blinders for one. She's married to Damien Lewis.

So very sad. RIP

I was really shocked when my husband told me. Very sad.

kittylester Fri 16-Apr-21 17:15:06

I saw this on a news flash on my phone and it has really shaken me. She was only 52. They seemed like a good couple. Very sad.

That's so sad she was only young and a wonderful actress.

That’s so sad. She was one of my favourite actresses. Wonderful in Peaky Blinders and as Cherie Blair in The Queen. RIP.

Oh no, that is so sad. I hadn't realised she was ill.
Such a wonderful actress and far too young.

Very sad, I loved her in Peaky Blinders. Also just loved seeing a woman in her fifties with a man the same age. Damien Lewis must be devastated. Huge loss and very sad for him and their children.

Really sorry to read that Helen McCrory has died, very good actress. Not that old, mother to teenage children I believe. How sad for them and her husband fellow actor Damien Lewis.

RIP

Callistemon Fri 16-Apr-21 17:36:36

Yes, I think their children are young teenagers, a great loss to her family and to the acting world.

RIP

I am sorry to hear that; very young.

TwiceAsNice Fri 16-Apr-21 17:47:33

It flashed up on my phone too. Really sad she’s been great in lots of things . I had t realised she was ill. 52 is so young and her poor children so hard to lose a parent

Kamiso Fri 16-Apr-21 17:47:52

Such sad news. Her family must be devastated.

I wonder if that’s why they’ve been stalling on the new series of Peaky Blinders. She’s was one of the key characters.

BlueBelle Fri 16-Apr-21 17:53:55

Oh never watched Peaky Blinders or heard of Damian Lewis but sad to hear of a young death

glammagran Fri 16-Apr-21 17:56:13

I’m so shocked and saddened by this. I don’t think there had been any statements about her illness at all. Will miss her so much as an acresss.

Jaxjacky Fri 16-Apr-21 17:56:43

How very sad, she was a talent. RIP.

polomint Fri 16-Apr-21 18:34:01

That is quite a shock. I too didn't know she had been ill. Loved her in peaky blinders

Kate1949 Fri 16-Apr-21 18:35:23

I think the family kept her illness quiet.

Poppyred Fri 16-Apr-21 18:49:21

Very sad. So sorry for her husband and children. ?

Sar53 Fri 16-Apr-21 18:58:43

Very sad for her husband children, RIP xx

One of my favourite actresses, loved her in Peaky Blinders, such very sad news, far too young to die, RIP lovely girl.

I just heard this on the news and it’s knocked me for six. Aunt Polly has been part of my tv watching life for years now. I can’t imagine the series without her and I thought it was lovely to see such a long lasting show biz marriage.
