Description


Tributes are being paid to Susannah York who has died age 72 from cancer.


The actress enjoyed a glittering career which began in the 1960s and saw her star in film, theatre and television.


She won a Bafta for her appearance in the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don't They? The role also saw her nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar.


Her actor son, Orlando Wells, told the Daily Telegraph she was "an absolutely fantastic mother".


He said: "She loved nothing more than cooking a good Sunday roast and sitting around a fire of a winter's evening.


"In some sense, she was quite a home girl.


"Both Sasha (Orlando's sister) and I feel incredibly lucky to have her as a mother."
