I fell in love with Sylvia Syms the first time I watched Ice Cold In Alex (I was probably about 6!). Still a favourite film.

RIP

Really sorry to hear this. A hugely talented actress, never less than superb. One of the very best guest star performances in Classic Who and fab in things like The Punch and Judy Man with Tony Hancock. RIP.

Stunningly beautiful, who can take their eyes off her in any movie from her heyday? Certainly not myself. To her eternal credit, she had the good sense and wisdom in her later years to age gracefully, unlike many in the entertainment world. RIP Sylvia.
