Plowright

Joan Plowright, the celebrated English actor whose career included the films ‘Enchanted April,’ ‘The Entertainer’ and ‘Spiderwick Chronicles,’ has died at 95.

The In Memoriam segment, which honours those from the film community who we have lost in the past year, paid tribute to the likes of Dame Maggie Smith, James Earl Jones, David Lynch, Dame Joan Plowright and Donald Sutherland.

Joan Plowright, the English actor whose decades-long career included an Oscar-nominated turn in “Enchanted April” and films “The Entertainer” and “Stalin,” has died.

Plowright may be remembered as the third and final wife of British acting legend Laurence Olivier, but she leaves behind an impressive legacy of her own that spanned theater, film and television.

Plowright, however, saw even more professional success after Olivier’s death in 1989, as she delivered memorable performances in films throughout the ’90s and early aughts, including “Enchanted April,” “Stalin,” The Scarlet Letter” and “The Spiderwick Chronicles.”
