Just saw this on another site. Horrible news. Before Olivia Colman came along, I always assumed Helen McCrory would be the next Judi Dench. In a way, even with Colman's ascendancy at a relatively younger age, I still felt McCrory would have that similar path to Dench (whose star kept ascending as she aged), and be globally recognised as a standard bearer for British acting as she ages, and win every acting award under the sun in the process. A tragic loss for acting, as she was brilliant and destined for even greater esteem. Condolences to her husband Damian Lewis and family as well.

I'd just seen McCrory in the excellent Quiz last year and was thinking that she was finally hitting her stride as a distinctly recognizable character actress who was one great role away from mainstream awards success. Bloody heartbreaking to know that that sort of meteoric talent got cut down in its prime. |

What the hell? This is just heartbreaking. I loved her on Peaky Blinders, and remember in the Harry Potter films alongisde other things. I was hoping to see her in more stronger work in the future, and then this happens. Cancer man, it sucks.  |

I can confirm that she was a genuinely lovely person - I briefly met her and Damien Lewis while they were living in NC (he was filming Homeland). I feel so bad for her kids... They were so little then. |

Gutted. I especially love her in Hugo and she always brought such warmth to her roles. Thinking of her family. Fucking cancer.

Really sad news. She was a fine actress.
Always wondered what her Bellatrix Lestrange would have been. Bonham Carter was so great in the role, but it's such a great part and there are so many ways to go with it, I'd love to have been what McCrory would have done.
Rest in peace.

So shocked and saddened to hear about this earlier. I've been making my way through Peaky Blinders over the last few months, and her Polly Gray is truly a iconic performance like no other. She was one of those wonderful character actresses who made an impact even when she popped up for a handful of minutes ( Skyfall, Harry Potter). Truly devastating to see such a strong talent taken away so soon . RIP, thoughts are with Damien Lewis and her family. |

The MVP of the first few seasons of Peaky Blinders and underrated as hell in both The Queen and The Special Relationship. Too young to go.

“I am broken-hearted to lose such a dear friend.Helen was a beautiful, caring, funny, compassionate human being. She was also a gifted actor – fearless and magnificent. She elevated and made humane every scene, every character she played.It was a privilege to have worked with this brilliant woman, to have shared so many laughs over the years.I will dearly miss my pal. My love and thoughts are with Damian and her family.” Cillian Murphywww.nme.com/news/tv/peaky-blinders-star-cillian-murphy-tribute-helen-mccrory-2922452
