It might be considered a cliche to some, but she truly “owned “ every role she played. She was memorable and magnificent. Heartfelt condolences to her family, most especially her husband and children.
When the newscaster asked if she was feeling ok, Helen cracked that joke, but poor Damien looked like he was about to start crying. So heartbreaking xo
@@orlaw.8213 I think Damien Lewis would be sympathetic to Kate Garraway (the interviewer). Her husband has been desperately ill with Covid over this last 12 months. She has a reputation in Britain for being very decent and likeable and didn't mean anything bad with the question. Most people in her position would probably have said something similar to Helen because her voice did sound very different to her usually deeper sounding tone. I hope she doesn't feel bad about what she said because there was zero harm meant by it. She didn't know she was speaking to someone who was terminally ill.
She should probably know by now not to ask stuff like that. Like wtf. "Are ok you sound croaky" why even mention it, it would make anyone feel self conscious about their voice.
@@uggggggghhhhh @june. Yeah but her voice sounded very different to her distinctive husky tone. If someone asks you about your voice because it sounds different it's probably out of concern. I often get laryngitis when it gets very cold. I wouldn't be the least bit offended if someone asked me about it. In fact once when someone did they recommended some very useful pills to take. I would have assumed Helen had the same thing if she hadn't died from cancer a month later. Kate was just being friendly and warm. You should try it sometime.
She, in my opinion, also fiercely portrayed Anna Keranina; topping every actress who ever played the character before/after her. Only dedicated fans would remember it as one of her best performances. RIP Beautiful and elegant Helen. :(
ABSOLUTELY!!!! I first saw her in Anna Kerenina and was blown away by her performance and beauty. She is the BEST actor in that role hands down and I became a major fan as a result. I'm crushed to learn of this news.
Yup! She captured Anna so well. It was an amazing performance. But the first time she blew me away was when she performed Medea on stage. That was the moment where I really thought how much of an artist she is.
She was such a beautiful woman in looks and personality too. She's a terrible loss to the acting world and her family of course. She seemed so sweet in interviews on TV.
Really felt ,She was the one that kept me glued to Peaky Blinders series .Amazing Talented Woman. So ,glad I got to see someone so blessed and all that Helen shared with us. Prayers to Damian and Family...
In Harry Potter, even though she played her sinister role brilliantly, she was the one villain I could never root against. Her inherent likability just always shined through. She will be missed
I was so terribly shocked when I heard of Helen’s passing, such a loss, not only to her beautiful family but to our entertainment industry. She was a force to be reckoned with. It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that she wanted to keep her battle private. Rest Easy Helen, you no longer have to fight, you’re free of pain - fly free. Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful presence over the years. Love & light going to her husband, children, the rest of her family & friends at this difficult time x
Helen McCrory was everything. A brilliant actress and entertainer, an incredible wife and mother, and a beautiful woman inside and out to all those blessed to know her and to know of her ❤️ Her and I shared a birthday, and I always wanted to meet her. I’m heartbroken that I’ll never get the amazing opportunity and privilege to do so 😢💔 I loved and will always love her as Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter films 🪄🤍 I pray for healing and strength for her husband and children, and that Dame Helen is resting in peace 🙏🏻
She was a class act. Her performance on Penny Dreadful was amazing. Her subtlety and nuances. I fell in love with her right then and there l. I just knew I was watching an amazing actress. She’s great in everything she’s done. But Penny Dreadful. Wow! I am so heartbroken she’s no longer with us. May her star shine brightly above
I remember her performance in PD as well, she stood out amongst a cast of talented actors. I am sorry for her family, wish them sweet memories. Gone too soon.
R.I.P Helen I want to say that we lost an amazing actress , wife , friend , mother and person. I loved every role of hers I have seen and I will miss her terribly. We lost such an amazing person to cancer 😭 R.I.P and my condolences to her family and friends. She left too soon 💔
I looked forward to every moment of her on screen. She was breathtaking and ethereal. Such soulful eyes on a delicate porcelin face. You have left us far too soon Helen McCrory. And you will be missed.
I feel for Tom Felton so much. Form what I’ve heard he got really close to Alan Rickman and lost him and now this. :( both were my favorite actors and I’m hurting.
I think secret is just another way of saying it's personal. If it's your secret it's personal to you... A secret should be allowed.... Keeping something close between you xxxx
What a true Valkyrie. God be with her family and loved ones. I'm in awe of the strength she had shown...same with Mr. Chadwick Boseman. Just pure class and grace.
I'm sorry to hear that you ma'ma had passed, I'd like to thank you for sharing your life with us. I like most feel like I knew you personally after all you've been in our home making us smile. Sending love & appreciation
I met Helen and Damian separately and together going to London theatre. She was superb and scary in 'Medea' and funny and poignant in Simon Gray's 'The Late Middle Classes' and the finale of 'The Deep Blue Sea' is, knowing what i do now (it was the last time I would see her act) intensely moving. Note for Americans: she and Damian got food for medics of the National Health Service they loved so much; we British are very proud of it (more than the monarchy,by far). RIP Helen McCrory 1968-2021.
Loved Helen McCrory in her role as Heath Ledger’s mother in ‘Casanova’ (and all her other many projects!). Who knows, perhaps they are even enjoying a warm reunion in heaven. 💐🌹
Nicola Pegg I am really sorry to hear that my sincere condolences to you and his family . 🤗🤗🤗You are absolutely right it is utterly very sad and devastating to lose someone so young and so early. I lost my sister to breast cancer at the age of just 43 in 2011 then I lost my dad 10 weeks later to liver cancer in 2012 aged 73. ☹☹☹
Incredibly heartbreaking. I didn’t follow her career, but she seems like an incredibly strong, caring lady. So much bad news, lately... Sending comfort and prayers of strength and healing for Damien and her two children. I can’t imagine how devastating this must be for them to lose their mother so young. 🙏💔
My heart goes out to Damian and their children ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤.I lost my husband of 10 years at the age of 32, our son an I manage to smile again ten years later. The wound will never heal, but one learns to live with it. Clichee, but time heals.
One of the true greats. Classy,cool,kind and devoted to her family,her art and her philanthropic work. Aunt Poll is one of the greatest characters detailed on film, the series would not have been so outstanding without her portrayal. And Narcissa Malfoy, another character whose duality, like Rickmans brilliant Snape,was superb in it's rendering. I mourn both actors, truly part of my enjoyment of the arts. Thank you both from your admirers,rest in peace,we will not forget your brilliance.
Another Harry Potter cast died. It just feels like yesterday the movies were released and everyone was young and healthy. Time passes quickly but along with it unfortunately lives passes as well.
@@averyream1196 do you mean Richard Harris? Because he was originally Dumbledore and after he passed he was replaced by Michael Gambon. I think you just mixed up the first names haha
no, devil comes to steal kill and destroy. if she didn't give her life to Jesus and repented of her sins she most likely isn't in heaven but hell. pray for her soul 🙏 ❤
@@user6d2a05 - What a disgusting thing to say. Seriously. I think you are sick going around telling people they will be tortured in hell forever even if they are good people simply because they do not follow your religion. Imagine if I said my religion is going to torture Christians because that's what my God wants. It's sick, disgusting and evil to believe such things. There's no evidence to support your beliefs and the Bible is a disgusting bigotted book filled with hatred. The fact that you believe that if there was a creator of the universe they are so simplistic as to send none believers to hell makes you weak-minded. It is clearly a made-up threat to scare people into belief. Made up by the same Catholic Church raping children while threatening others with damnation. You fit in perfectly with them you sick piece of shit.
The bit where she said she wants Damien to have lots more girlfriends .. reminds me of when my mum was dying of cancer a few years ago, she very much wanted my Dad to find new partner. She had even been working on a bit of a short list of potential single ladies in the local town (as well as somewhat longer list of people who were a no-go!).
I first saw her about 20 years ago in a great British series called "The fragile heart" followed by another wonderful series "Anna Karenina"(it was definitely the strongest version of "Anna Karenina" with her as the lead). She was so memorable in both and brilliant in every other movie I have seen from her since. I really respect her courage to go on and have such a successful and brilliant career even up to recently while she was privately struggling with (what we know now) an end stage cancer. RIP
I will miss her character Polly Shelby on Peaky blinders, she was the ultimate matriarch. R.I.P Aunt Pol🕊 Helen did that character justice. Condolences to Damian Lewis and their children.
My heart goes out to him and his family. He’s a beautiful man, stunning, and she was exquisite grace. She wants him to go out on dates. That part was precious of her, looking out for her man until the end, HIS end even, which is the truly the remarkable part. If you’re ever able to even fathom having coffee with someone, my pot is always on in Orlando, just to lend an ear. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Helen was a fantastic actress, the last thing I watched her in was she played the premier minster , in a draw with Huw Laurie , in a game of power in politics.and secret .she was brilliant
WOW! I had no idea that McCrory had passed away(tragic loss for all), nor that the actor(Damian Lewis) whose character on Billions I mimic as a YT handle share a similar suffering. I too lost my wife to cancer earlier this year, at home, and we also have two beautiful children. Not a very common thing, so my heart goes out to Damian and his loved ones. Prayers!
Wow she was an awesome actress. One of the best scenes I have to say for me, is when she meet her son on the series Peaky Blinder and she's just standing there not saying a word and yet I could feel the emotions she was giving....
It might be considered a cliche to some, but she truly “owned “ every role she played. She was memorable and magnificent. Heartfelt condolences to her family, most especially her husband and children.

Here I am sitting, crying over the death of Helen McCrory and those beautiful words her husband wrote. It is not fair. #heartbroken
same here, I admire her
Same. :(
"I'm having trouble these days and I'm twice the man you are." DAMN. She hit HARD with that.

I feel for Tom Felton so much. Form what I’ve heard he got really close to Alan Rickman and lost him and now this. :( both were my favorite actors and I’m hurting.
Rest in peace! U were one of my favorite Harry Potter characters.
Why does it have to be a "secret" why can't it just be personal. Blessings to the family
Because they had to keep it secret, people are so damned nosey.
@@codename495 nah, that's called minding your own business..its not a secret if they aren't entitled to the information
I think secret is just another way of saying it's personal. If it's your secret it's personal to you... A secret should be allowed.... Keeping something close between you xxxx
it was "secret" so that she could keep working. if the diagnosis were public it would've impacted her career opportunities.
@@arianrhodhyde4507 no one outside of her family is entitled to her personal, private business...theres no secret in that
