TRIBUTE
A Tribute to Helen McCrory
Peaky Blinders will not be the same without you.
Helen was just 52 when she passed away, quietly and bravely she battled against cancer. McCrory had two young children, ages thirteen and fourteen, with her actor husband Damian Lewis.
She had many names. You may have known her best as Narcissa Malfoy, or perhaps Polly Gray, maybe even Cherie Blair.
Whatever role you knew her best for, I have no doubt it was synonymous with fantastic acting. A level of which is rare to find. We are all truly blessed to have been alive when she walked our screens.
She set the screen and stage ablaze with her undeniable talent. Immersed herself into characters. Every scene was carefully depicted, every line delivered with perfection. Each mannerism fluid and well considered. No one could walk away from her with any sense of disappointment. She always left you wanting more. A stellar artist through and through.
If like me, you’re feeling entirely devastated that she’s gone. Remember this, she is never truly gone. Like a wise person once said “we die twice, once when we leave this world and once when the last person says our name”, Helen will remain alive as long as we all continue to share in her phenomenal work.
