Susannah York Dies
Share-LONDON – British actress Susannah York, one of the leading stars of British and Hollywood films in the late 1960s and early 1970s, has died in London. She was 72.Susannah received an Oscar nomination in 1970 for her role in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" and also appeared in the classic "A Man For All Seasons" before going on to play Christopher Reeve's biological mother in the Superman series of movies.She died of cancer Saturday at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. Her son, the actor Orlando Wells, said his mother was an incredibly brave woman who did not complain about her illness and a "truly wonderful mother." He said she went into hospital on Jan. 6 after experiencing shoulder pain.
She had a long, distinguished career on film, television and on stage, but she is best remembered for her early roles, when she had an immediate impact that started with her 1963 role as Albert Finney's love interest in the memorable period piece romp "Tom Jones."With its tongue-in-cheek sensuality and gentle send-up of the British aristocracy, the film is remembered as an early landmark in 1960s cinema, and York's unmistakable presence added to its appeal. Her long blond hair, stunning blue eyes and quick-witted repartee brought her a string of excellent roles.She acted with major stars like Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, George C. Scott and many others, stirring some controversy with her daring portrayal of a lesbian in the 1968 drama "The Killing of Sister George."In 1972, she won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival. Her film work tailed off as London's "Swinging Sixties" era faded into cultural history, but she returned to play Superman's mother.Actress and politician Glenda Jackson, who starred with Susannah in the 1975 film version of "The Maids," said her death "came as a shock."Jackson said Susannah had been a pleasure to work with and was "too young to go."Susannah branched out into television and stage work, earning a number of accolades and awards throughout her long career. She made appearances in several successful TV shows including "The Love Boat" in the U.S. and "Holby City" in Britain.Her stage work continued for much of her career and included several one-woman shows. British director Richard Bracewell, who worked with her later in her career, described her as "electrifying" once the cameras started to roll.She had two children — son Orlando and daughter Sasha — with her husband, Michael Wells, before they divorced. Orlando Wells said his mother was incredibly versatile throughout her working life. He said she was an accomplished television actor and also had a passion for writing. "She wrote two children's books, which is great for her grandchildren and something we will pass on to them," said Wells.Born in London, she studied at the storied Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, which has tutored many of Britain's top actors throughout the years. She is survived by her children and several grandchildren. — AP
Susannah York d.o.b. is 9 January 1939, 10.00am, London 51N30' 00W10'.With Pisces rising and Jupiter on the ascendant, forming a t-square with Venus and the Moon, it is no wonder she was seen as a sensitive, caring and outwardly happy person. That she went into acting is also no surprise with the chart ruler, Neptune trines her Sun (which trines Uranus) and squares Mercury, which is conjunct her Mid-heaven and sextile its ruler, Jupiter. Some of her early films were considered to be sexually shocking at the time (Mars in Scorpio opposite Uranus). The Sun in Capricorn is quite ambitious and hard-working but suggests an inner lack of confidence. The Sun makes a square to Saturn in Aries in 2nd house, which also squares Chiron in her solar 5th house, emphasising this lack of confidence in her own creativity and was likely to drive her even harder to succeed in her chosen profession. Outside her professional work, she was a supporter of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and Mordechai Vanunu, the technician imprisoned for 18 years for revealing Israel's secret nuclear programme.
