She played the matriarch of a crime family on ”Peaky Blinders” and the scheming Voldemort ally Narcissa Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” movies.

McCrory also starred as a human rights lawyer dragged into international intrigue in the TV thriller “Fearless,” played lawyer Cherie Blair, wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in the 2006 movie “The Queen,” and had roles in Martin Scorsese’s film “Hugo” and the James Bond thriller “Skyfall.”

Since lefty actresses demand to be called actors rather than actresses, the Oscars should eliminate the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards and fold them into the Best Actor awards.

Looks like it was pancreatic cancer. It frequently hits people at around this age. It’s hard to catch early because it doesn’t cause any symptoms until it has already metastasized and then it’s too late. My mother was diagnosed at 55 and was dead at 57 after a brutal but ultimately futile battle. Patrick Swayze died of pancreatic cancer at 57 too after a 22 month battle. Steve Jobs was 56 when it got him. Michael Landon: 55; Sally Ride: 61; Luciano Pavarotti: 71; Billy Carter: 51; John Lewis: 80,

COVID 19 having a "catastrophic impact" on NHS as 4.7 million wait to start hospital treatment

Keep in mind that this is while the NHS is the UK's largest employer, with over a million employees.

Is there any evidence she was a leftist?

Even if she was, is this an appropriate response to the too soon death of a mother with two young children?

Felix Silla also died. He was 84.

He was Cousin Itt in the original The Addams Family.

He was the Talosian in the pilot of Star Trek.

He was Twiki in Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century.

"Always think of Damian L as the jihadist on Homeland. Had no idea until now that he and Helen were married."

Never watched Homeland, and I haven't watched "Billionaire" either. I have watched Peaky Blinders from the time it first started airing. I like to check out the actors when I start watching a series, to see what other things they have been in. I was surprised when I discovered she was married to Lewis, and it stuck in my head ever since.

I watched the first season of "Prodigal Son," and have been watching the second season since it started airing. Until I checked out some of the actors on IMDb, I didn't know that the main character, Malcolm Bright is played by the same guy who was "Jesus" for three years on "The Walking Dead." I basically stopped watching that series after Rick and Maggie left. Don't watch "Fear the Walking Dead" anymore either.

When I saw she was in the first episodes of “Trial & Retribution,” (UK police TV show) and played Cherie Blair in “The Queen,” I knew who she was. R.I.P.

It’s an amazing series. Violent and bloody but fantastic writing.
