Unhappy Grange Hill star Gwyneth Powell, who played headmistress Mrs McClusky, dies


The actress Gwyneth Powell, known to many as the headmistress in the BBC
series Grange Hill, has died at the age of 76.

She played the role of Mrs McClusky for from 1981 to 1991, and despite playing
many other parts in her career, it was the one that viewers took most to heart.

Matthew Lacey, her agent, said in a statement on behalf of the family that the
actress died "after complications following a major operation for a perforated
colon".

Very sad. Time goes so fast and life is tragically short. I saw a video of her recently on Twitter and I thought she looked good for her age.

RIP.

RIP

I never really watched Grange Hill tbh but she was fantastic in Greg Davies' sitcom "Man Down" on Channel 4 - she played his Mum and Rik Mayall was his Dad (for one series before he died, then they brought in Stephanie Cole as his sister), really hilarious show.
