Dead Wait 1,129 Posted June 20 14 minutes ago, time said: "Sweeny" is mis-spelled but "Steve" is correct isn't it? My use of ‘either’ refers to Steve Sweeney or the other Steve Sweeney (simply put, she is paying tribute to one of them and despite that didn’t take the time to get the name right).

Many years ago I had a schoolfriend named Stephen who, on being questions by a teacher if he knew anything about the name "Steve" being scratched into a (wooden) desk, tried to convince him he spelled his abbreviated name as "Stephe". Admittedly, the chances of you and he being the same person are pretty slim, but its not impossible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,599 Posted June 21 Still no official word on which (if any) Steve Sweeney has died. You'd have thought, given the ambiguity, that someone (an agent or management company perhaps) would have clarified by now. Anyway, someone has posted on Twitter that the UK Steve was 61. (eta - The independent has also updated it's report to amend his age to 61) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She should obit because she got a BAFTA supporting actor nomination for her role in Zefferelli's Romeo & Juliet Mentioned many times on DL Forums before... Time death notice for Pat Heywood (wiki), who died on 26th June aged 92. Spoiler NEVILLE Pat (née Heywood) died peacefully on 26th June 2024, aged 92. Prolific actress in theatre, film and TV.

There are 2 contenders for who it might be, Thelma Barlow (b.1929) who played Lady Thaw in the Lazarus experiment or Wendy Danvers who played Amazonia in The Curse of Peladon, her birth-date is not known but it is thought she was born about 1927.
