Had other roles in The Avengers, Z Cars, Emergency-Ward 10, and Dixon of Dock Green. Spoiler CATLIN Pearl Ruth died on 18th April 2024, aged 94.

ThereWillBeDeaths7 720 Posted May 5 Noooo he was a great actor. I first saw him as King Théoden in the Lord of the Rings trilogy where he had a great on screen presence. RIP Bernard Hill. Theoden's speech at 0:55. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted May 5 I've just been surprised to learn that his wife was Marianna Hill, the American actress who was in (among many other things), episodes of the original Outer Limits and Star Trek and the Batman TV show, and films including the avant-garde 1968 political protest movie Medium Cool and the staggeringly tasteless 1973 crazy-old-lady and retarded-adult horror The Baby. Much more interesting resume than all that Alan Bleasdale stuff... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
