British actress Miriam Karlin has died at the age of 85 following a battle with cancer.
The A Clockwork Orange star passed away at a London hospital on Friday and the news was confirmed by Equity actors' union spokesman Martin Brown, who called Karlin a "wonderful actress" and a "marvellous friend".
Karlin began her career on the stage but made a transfer to onscreen roles in films such as The Entertainer, The Millionairess and a part in British TV show The Rag Trade. She also appeared in Stanley Kubrick's 1971 classic A Clockwork Orange as a woman murdered by Malcolm McDowell's onscreen character.
She was bestowed with an Order of the British Empire in 1975 and made her last film appearance in 2008 opposite Daniel Craig in Flashbacks of a Fool.
I love Clockwork Orange. As to your picture, a little trivia. Georgie on the left has uniform #667, and Dim on the right (you can’t see it) has uniform #665, thus symbolizing Alex being “666”.
Memorable scene. RIP.
Smarta$$ little monkey aren’t you.
I have seen Clockwork Orange. Have you seen it?
I Watched Kick Ass last night.
I thought it was an awesome movie.
Hit Girl was something else.
I wonder if there will be a sequel....
“I Watched Kick Ass last night.”
Nah..an adult Hit Girl wouldn’t work. Hit Girl’s facial expressions were priceless.
I’ve been watching Hit Girl videos on you tube. I like the lady gaga telephone version.
I bought a Hit Girl poster to go up next to my dewy-eyed Ann Coulter one. Nice juxtaposition.
