msc 17,761 Posted June 28, 2011 Margaret Tyzack, star of the Forsyte Saga, and more recently seen in EastEnders, has died aged 79. She also played the part of Annie Morgan in the Quatermass TV series in 1979, as well as a host of other parts in a career spanning the period 1956 to 2011. A complete list can be found here. Shame, she was great in I Claudius. She was flagged up in February and April on the forum too. 79 year old Margaret Tyzack has joined Eastenders' cast. Old enough to have appeared in a leading role in the original Forsythe Saga on BBC 1, and well-enough stacked with theatrical plaudits to be obit-worthy. Obviously, she's healthy enough to be insurable...for now. She's lasted just one episode. "The character made her debut in last Tuesday's episode ... but the actress is now said to have left the soap due to a "personal matter". Replaced with an 83 year old who has lengthy form in soapland. Doubtless the "personal matter" involved Tyzack's theatrical pedigree and "wrap and run" ethos of Eastenders shooting. I'm assuming the "personal matter" was slightly more serious after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incidentally Anna Massey is the 2nd actress to play the part of Margaret Thatcher to die in recent weeks while the real one lingers on..It's almost as if God is toying with us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of interest to a handful of DDP teams, but not any of the front runners. He was quite a significant historical figure though wasn't he? Hardly; EMPs rarely are. I suppose his most remarkable achievement is dying on the same date as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, the second, third and fifth US presidents, respectively. His father was of some historical historical significance, though. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSBfromH 74 Posted July 6, 2011 Gordon Tootoosis The Canadian actor has died aged 69. I was trying to recall where I knew him from (his name is not easily forgotten!) and realised it would probably be from his appearance in "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" (the 2002 version). He was of Cree and Stoney descent, his great-grandfather being Yellow Mud Blanket, brother of the Cree chief Poundmaker "who played a pivotal role in the Northwest resistance of 1885".
