Stage and screen star Phyllida Law, the mother of fellow actresses Dame Emma and Sophie Thompson, has died at the age of 94.
"It is with great sadness we have to announce that Phyllida Law died supremely peacefully at home, surrounded by all of her family, on Monday 27th July," her manager Jacky Leggo said in a statement to BBC News.
"We had worked together for over fifty years and she was a beautiful person inside and out."
Law appeared on screen alongside her daughters several times throughout a long and varied career, including in the 1996 adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma, starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Law played Mrs Bates while Sophie played her daughter Miss Bates.
She also acted with Dame Emma in 1992's Peter's Friends, directed by her then-son-in-law Sir Kenneth Branagh.
