That's awful. She was an amazing actress.

ChequerBoard · 16/04/2021 18:04

Very sad news. Loved Helen, she was such a talent actress and just oozed class.

UnderHisAye · 16/04/2021 18:05

One of the few times I've been genuinely upset about a famous person passing away. No age at all, and she just seemed like a genuinely fabulous person.

Thoughts to her husband and children.

Raising a glass to you Helen Wine

A huge huge loss, my thoughts are with her poor family.. Sad

Oh my goodness. That’s so sad. She was amazing.

I thought she was poorly in her last series of Roadkill she was holding her arm strangely throughout her scenes. So very sad to hear this. Her poor family. No age at all. Thoughts go out to her lovely family and what a lovely tribute from her husband DL.

KingRoloIV · 16/04/2021 18:09

Such horrendous news, I’m really shocked, she seemed so lovely!!
Praying for her children and husband, so heartbreakingly sad for them.
RIP Beautiful Helen

Such sad news she was incredibly talented and so young - I believe she has two young children as well - my thoughts are with her family Thanks

Queenofbeebers · 16/04/2021 18:10

She was absolutely fucking magnificent in everything. My god what a waste and her poor poor children.

osbertthesyrianhamster · 16/04/2021 18:10

She was a brilliant actress.

SusannahSophia · 16/04/2021 18:14

It’s really sad. She was brilliant and was still getting amazing roles and killing them as a middle aged woman. She was so good as both a beautiful leading lady and as a character actress, she seemed to be able to combine them both into one.

NeedToKnow101 · 16/04/2021 18:16

Incredibly sad. RIP to an amazing woman and actor ❤️

Figgygal · 16/04/2021 18:16

I’ve never watched peaky blinders but saw her recently playing a young Cherie Blair in the queen and thought how good she was.
I hadn’t known she was ill she always came across so cheerful and strong.
I loved the names of her children manon and Gulliver who calls kids names like that!!!
I met her husband once lovely lovely bloke

Yeah this one is really really sad.
RIP

This is heartbreaking, I’ve only today been watching her in Harry Potter. Such an amazing actress and beautiful women. My heart goes out to her husband and children. RIP Helen. 💐

AwFeebs · 16/04/2021 18:22

Sad news indeed. Sad

DoomscroIIer · 16/04/2021 18:22

Saw her during lockdown in the National Theatre's Deep Blue Sea and then later in David Hare's Roadkill on iplayer. Thought she was fabulous in both roles. Her two kids are still young. A real tragedy. RIP Flowers
