More sad news today - the very lovely and talented Miss Haydn Gwynne has ascended the glittering stairway to Fabulon.
In her estimable career, she hit peak-time telly success as the arch-cynic "Alex Pates" in Drop the Dead Donkey, was lauded for her stage performances in Billy Elliot the Musical, City of Angels and The Threepenny Opera, and she played "Camilla" in the Channel Four sitcom The Windsors, Margaret Thatcher in The Audience (opposite Dame Helen Mirren), and a character based on Dame Prue Leith in The Great British Bake Off Musical. Phew!
We saw her twice on stage - as "Evangeline Harcourt" in Anything Goes, and her brilliant performances in the Sondheim tribute gala Old Friends
Such a sad loss...
[If you've ever dreamed of Trump getting kneed in the bollocks by Camilla Parker-Bowles, look on...]
RIP, Haydn Gwynne (5th October 1957 – 20th October 2023)
