Billie Whitelaw
Billie Honor Whitelaw, CBE (6 June 1932 – 21 December 2014) was an English actress. She worked in close collaboration with Irish playwright Samuel Beckett for 25 years and was regarded as one of the foremost interpreters of his works.〔(Billie Whitelaw at New York State Writers Institute, State University of New York )〕 She was also known for her portrayal of Mrs Baylock, the demonic nanny in the 1976 horror film ''The Omen''.
Whitelaw was appointed a CBE in the 1991 Birthday Honours.
==Early life==
Whitelaw was born in Coventry, Warwickshire, the daughter of Frances Mary (née Williams) and Gerry Whitelaw.〔(Billie Whitelaw Biography )〕 She grew up in a working class part of Bradford and later attended Grange Girls' Grammar School in Bradford. At age 11, she began performing as a child actress on radio programmes, including the part of Bunkle, an extrovert prep-schoolboy on Children's Hour from Manchester, and later worked as an assistant stage manager and acted with the repertory company at the Prince's Theatre in Bradford during high school. Her father died of lung cancer when Billie was 10 years old. Money was tight and her mother struggled on her own to support the family. "It's something I haven't come to terms with ... I'm rather ashamed of having the good life I have", she later recalled.〔(Obituary ), bbc.com; accessed 22 December 2014.〕
