Dreadfully sad news about Helen McCrory passing away today, and so very young. A very gifted actress, she has left a wonderful screen legacy, but it must be heartbreaking for her family and friends.

Rest in Peace Aunt Polly😢

    Aunt Polly - Polly Grey in Peaky Blinders. A superb piece of acting.

    Yes, very good stage actress as well.
    Sorry, I should have mentioned Peaky Blinders. She is, was, one of the best things about the series, one minute a hugely tragic figure, next a vengeful hell queen who let’s no one stand in her way!

    I was a late comer to PB. Decided to buy first series via Apple. I was hooked, the acting, the sets, the storylines, the characters. HC was the female lead, stunning acting, you are left wondering whether to love her, or hate her. An unforgettable performance.

    I've not followed it either. More 'leaky bladders' than 'peaky blinders'.embarassed

    Yes, a fine actress. I enjoyed watching her in the TV series ‘Mother  Father Son’ with Richard Gere and the rather creepy Angela Howard (Sarah Lancashire).

    She was captivating to watch, I’d seen her in many things but she was outstanding in the Matriarchal role in Peaky Blinders. She shifted from doting mother/Aunt/Sister to unhinged murderous self destructive Harpy when triggered. She still had much to give in her Dame Judi Dench years. Lost to us all way too soon.
