I've just this minute heard about this sad news over at Yahoo UK. I still can't believe it.

RIP. She was a great actress and will be missed. One of the reasons this version was so great was the excellent supporting cast.

I especially loved her as Sophie Western in "Tom Jones," where she was pursued by creepy Blifil (David Warner).
Funny how she's married to Blifil in this film!
