LONDON (AP) β British actress Billie Whitelaw, who collaborated closely with Irish playwright Samuel Beckett and appeared on stage and screen for decades, has died in a London nursing home at age 82.
Denville Hall general manager Charlotte Schram said Whitelaw died Sunday.
“It’s a great loss. She was a wonderful person,” Schram said.
Whitelaw was well known for her roles in a number of films, including “The Omen” and most recently “Hot Fuzz,” and for her regular work with Beckett.
She first appeared on radio when she was only 11.
Her son Mathew Muller said “She had an incredible career β but first and foremost she was my mum, and that’s who I will miss.”
Whitelaw won a number of British acting awards over the years.
