Actress Angharad Rees has died following a long battle with pancreatic cancer, her family said yesterday.
Rees, who starred in BBC drama series Poldark in the 1970s after first appearing on screen in The Way We Live Now in 1969, also enjoyed an extensive theatre career.
A statement released by her family said: “The family of Angharad Rees [McAlpine] are deeply saddened to announce that Angharad passed away peacefully with her family at her bedside in London, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
“She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.”
Welsh actress Rees, who was 63, was married to the late Dynasty actor Christopher Cazenove for more than 20 years and they had two sons together, Linford, who died in a car crash on the M11 in Essex in 1999 aged 26, and Rhys, 35.
She went on to marry David McAlpine in 2005, with whom she lived in London.
