Helen McCrory: Stars pay tribute to Peaky Blinders actress

Stars have paid tribute to Peaky Blinders and Harry Potter actress Helen McCrory who has died of cancer aged 52.

She also worked at the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Almeida and the Donmar Warehouse, and earned rave reviews for her role in Uncle Vanya in London and New York in 2002 and 2003.Carrie Cracknell, who directed McCrory in a stage production of Medea, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I can honestly say that working with Helen was one of the highlights of my professional life.

She said McCrory's charity work and commitment to her family had defined her last few years of life, with her not wanting people to focus on her illness. McCrory was nominated for two of London's Olivier Awards for playing Rosalind in As You Like It in 2006, and for The Last of the Haussmans in 2013. "She elevated and made humane every scene, every character she played," he said, adding it was "a privilege to have worked with this brilliant woman... I will dearly miss my pal".
