Acclaimed actress Billie Whitelaw, famous for her roles in films including The Omen, has died at the age of 82.

The Coventry-born star, who was made a CBE in 1991, worked in close collaboration with playwright Samuel Beckett, who described her as a perfect actress.

Whitelaw made her radio acting debut aged just 11.

The award-wining actress also played a starring role in The Krays and more recently appeared in comedy Hot Fuzz.

82.  I can remember when she was a cracker.  And talking of real crackers - Virna Lisi died this month.  Sigh.  As did Ernie Terrell, who Ali once thrashed.  But I don't think Terrell ever fought Lisi or Whitelaw.  But my mind isn't what it used to be.

Ernie Terrell gone! Shame. Ali gave him a right pounding, upset that he refused to call him Ali.
