British actress Susannah York has died at the age of 72 after suffering from cancer, her son has said.
She appeared in film, TV and theatre during a career which began in the 1960s.
She was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar for her role in the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? and won a Bafta for the same role.
Her son Orlando Wells told the Telegraph newspaper that she was “an absolutely fantastic mother”.
