Award-winning actress Anna Massey has died from cancer at the age of 73. The veteran of stage and TV passed away peacefully on Sunday with her husband and son David, 51, by her side, said her agent Pippa Markham. Miss Massey, who overcame severe stage fright and anorexia, won a Bafta for the 1986 TV adaptation of Hotel du Lac among a series of other awards.
From a family of actors, and with director John Ford as godfather, she made her stage debut at 18 and received a CBE for services to drama in 2005.
Miss Massey was married to actor Jeremy Brett and after their divorce was single for 27 years until marrying Russian scientist Uri Andres in 1988.
