Helen McCrory: Peaky Blinders actress dies aged 52, husband Damian Lewis sayson April 16, 2021 at 6:54 pm

The star, who has died of cancer, was a “beautiful and mighty woman”, her husband Damian Lewis said.

“It seems fantastical, you think you’re absolutely fine, you’re pottering along, you’re coping with it, cleaning, cooking, cleaning, cooking and you suddenly burst into tears, and it’s the fear and it’s the vulnerability coming out. And then you pick yourself up and you go along again, as if nothing happened, and it’s surreal.”
