I think we all forget how old some of our well known stars are.

It's sad that many lovely people who have given so much to entertain people, have to die in such a horrible way.
May she rest in peace now, free from pain and suffering.
At least she will not be forgotten with films being shown time after time.

Oh I saw the thinging saying someone had died aged 72 on the bottom of the bbc news did'nt realise it was her. Well I did'nt wait for the name to come up before I switched channels

I have private photos taken of her in one of those film locations because I used to live in the building she was filming in.

When I get a DVD player because this laptop does'nt play them I'm told I will watch this film, although would'nt be surprised if they show it soon...such a shame

RIP Susannah

I loved Susannah in "The Seventh Dawn" with William Holden and Cappucine. Great film and one of Susannah's earlier roles.

And also, (may I mention sex?), the scene in "Battle of Britain" where Christopher Plummer is watching her stroll round the bedroom of the hotel dressed in WRAF uniform, including tie, from the waist up and french knickers, stockings and suspenders below, remains the sexiest scene on camera ever.

RIP Susannah, thanks for the memory.
