British actor Helen McCrory, who starred in the television show “Peaky Blinders” and the “Harry Potter” movies, has died, her husband said Friday.
She was 52 and had been suffering from cancer. Her husband, fellow actor Damian Lewis, said McCrory died “peacefully at home” after a "heroic battle with cancer.” “She died as she lived.
Fearlessly,” Lewis wrote on Twitter. "God we love her and know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives. She blazed so brightly.
Go now, Little One, into the air, and thank you.” McCrory was one of Britain’s most respected actors, making her mark by playing a succession of formidable and sometimes fearsome women.
