I know, I saw it on the news.
So sad.
I really liked her acting, especially in Downton Abbey.
I’m sure she’ll be missed by many.  :'(

She was brilliant in everything but she was particularly good in The Lady and The Van x

She was brilliant in Death On The Nile (with Peter Ustinov as Poirot). Played assistant Bette Davis's assistant - superb 👌

I re-watched her episode of Alan Bennett's Talking Heads last night. As ever she got it just right.

I loved her in Lady in the Van too discogirl.

Tea with Mussolini film for me when she acted alongside Judi Dench & Joan Plowright.
Also in an episode with friend Francesco da Mosta as he filmed parts of Italy.
