Dame Joan Plowright (Oct 1929- Jan 2025)
Story Here
Oscar nominee Dame Joan Plowright has died at the age of 95, her family has said.
The British actress, who was married to Lord Laurence Olivier, was known for her Golden Globe award-winning performances in TV biopic Stalin and Enchanted April, for which she was also nominated for an Academy Award.
Dame Joan also starred in Love You To Death with River Phoenix, and was a star of the West End and Broadway before her international movie success.
The lights of London’s West End will dim in memory of the Olivier award-winning actress on Tuesday.

Maybe not her greatest work but she was in Dennis The Menace movie which I remembered.

It's be hilarious if this is the movie they chose for the In Memoriam montage.

She was the English teacher in LAST ACTION HERO who shows clips of Olivier's HAMLET to the class, which leads to the boy imagining an action trailer with Jack Slater (Schwarzenegger) in the role of Hamlet.
"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark--and Hamlet is taking out the trash."
"To be or not to be..." (lights dynamite bundle and tosses it behind him to explode his enemies)..."not to be."
