    Nicola Pagett, 75

    The actress who played Elizabeth on Upstairs, Downstairs and the title role in Anna Karenina has died of a brain tumor. Now she and Vivien can finally compare notes on what it was like to play Anna.

    Came to say the same thing. With her not really being in the public eye anymore, I guess it was easier to keep secret she was unwell.

    I know a lot of people know her from Upstairs/Downstairs but she was also in a show I loved called A Bit Of A Do in the 80s with David Jason and David Thewlis who would later go on to success in Hollywood. I watched it when I was younger and thought she was a nasty cow but rewatched as an adult and loved the way she played the role.

    I read her autobiography a few years back when she goes into detail about her mental health issues and is quite open about it. It's called Diamonds Behind My Eyes and is worth the read if you can get your hands on it.

    RIP.

    Same here. I might give it another try sometime, though.
