Lovely British actress Susannah York has died at the age of 72. The cause was bone marrow cancer. She was born in London and attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art before embarking on a thriving film career. She is probably best known for her performance in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. Her other films include Battle of Britian, A Man For All Seasons, and The Killing of Sister George. She also had a distinguished stage career and continued to act all of her life. She is survived by two children and two grandchildren.
Here is a tribute from the Funchal Film Festival, which honored her.
