Thora Hird Dies Aged 91
DAME Thora Hird has died at the age of 91.
She suffered a stroke last weekend and had been staying at Brinsworth House, a retirement home for actors in south-west London.
The news of her death came from her long-standing agent Felix de Wolfe.
He said: "Thora was loved by all. Everyone felt that they knew her through her work, and today, the entertainment industry and Britain has lost one of its true original stars."
She will probably be best remembered for her role in the Last of the Summer Wine.
Very sad news, the last I'd heard was that she was improving. A sad loss to many people.
R.I.P. Thora Hird
