Sylvia Syms 1934 - 2023

I inherited one of the iconic #Carlsberg beer glasses from my parents, who lived in the Middle East & North Africa for 20 years. Where it came from no idea.

RIP Sylvia Syms. My strongest memory of her is in The Saint, especially 'The Fiction-Makers'. She was also the mother of Beatie Edney (The Highlander). An incredible filmography spanning 64 years. #SylviaSyms #TheSaint #50shadesofgrade

#RIP #SylviaSyms (1934–2023)

Alluring, capable #actress in show business for 65 years.

Notable #film roles include:

She's excellent as #DirkBogarde's initially unsuspecting wife in #BasilDearden's landmark 1961 drama VICTIM, the 1st major #British #movie centered on a modern-day #gay character.

She's just as good as The Queen Mother in #StephenFrears' #Oscar-nominated THE QUEEN (2006).

Her final big-screen role was as 1 of the leads in Paul Duddridge's 2018 #drama TOGETHER.
