Awful sad news. Gone far too young. RIP.

She was on This Morning the other week and the host commented at her poorly sounding voice. Shame. Gone far too young.

Cancer. Rip.

She was brilliant in so many things. Loved her in Penny Dreadful. No age at all. RIP.

Oh, Draco Malfoy's mother... Also never knew she was in Skyfall.

Far too young. Cancer

Absolutely tragic, really hit me hard when I read this.

RIP

Did lots of charity work including raising money to help feed NHS workers during Covid.

RIP

She played a very desirable “older woman” in “Leaving” on TV 7 or 8 years back, she played something like an events manager at a large country hotel, where weddings were often held.
She had a fling with a young guy who worked in her team, (her marriage was crumbling), and you would have had to be dead not to fancy the pants off her.
RIP Helen.

Did anyone know she was also in the Tom Cruise film? Interview with the Vampire.

As above way too young, rest in peace.

Just heard that she was originally cast as Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter but apparently fell pregnant, so had to turn it down, but then took the role as Narcissa Malfoy.

Very sad news, Damien Lewis was a very lucky man.

A very sad loss, she played Polly so well. Weird how you suddenly find out what else people are in when they pass away.

Very sad indeed.

i wasn't even aware she had cancer. she was one of those actresses that you start liking in one series and suddenly start realising you've seen her in loads of other stuff but played different characters so well you never noticed - if that makes sense.
wondering how this will affect the last PB plot.

really sad news, Cancer sucks
