Geraldine McEwan: life and times
Miss Marple TV actress Geraldine McEwan leaves £3million in her will
The tragic story of Four Weddings star Charlotte Coleman who suffered eating disorders and the death of her boyfriend, then died from asthma attack at 33
That, for me, epitomised the mischievous wit that McEwan brought to every role she played, even including that tweedily sedate sleuth, Miss Marple.
She also left £44,000 to be shared between friends and relatives, including her seven grandchildren.
All because she broke the china doing head stands.
She had known him since she was 14 and while she was trying to pursue her career and often away for long stretches, he was the bulwark at home.
