RIP. Fantastic actor and I don't think I've watched a bad performance from her.

She and Damian Lewis were one of the cutest power couples in the industry. I feel bad for their young teenaged children who just lost a mom.

Helen McCrory told family to be brave about her death, says Damian Lewis

The actor, who died at age 52, had kept her cancer private and told her children she’d lived the life she wanted

www.theguardian.com

Before she died, the actor Helen McCrory repeatedly urged her teenage children to be courageous and not sad about her death, her husband, Damian Lewis, has said.

In a moving tribute to the Peaky Blinders star, Lewis said: "She's left our beautiful children, Manon and Gully, too early, but they have been prepared for life."

Writing in the Sunday Times, Lewis said: "She has exhorted us to be courageous and not afraid. As she said repeatedly to the children: 'Don't be sad, because even though I'm about to snuff it, I've lived the life I wanted to.'"

Lewis said that in the weeks before her death his wife had talked about his future relationships with women, saying that "love isn't possessive".

"She said to us from her bed: 'I want Daddy to have girlfriends, lots of them, you must all love again, love isn't possessive, but you know, Damian, try at least to get through the funeral without snogging someone,'" he said.

I only knew her from entertainment, but she seemed like a great soul. Feeling for her kids and family.
