Jill Angela Henriette Balcon (3 January 192518 July 2009)〔Peter Stanford (Obituary: Jill Balcon ), ''The Guardian'', 20 July 2009〕 was an English film and radio actress. She made her film debut in ''Nicholas Nickleby'' (1947), though she was best known for her stage, television, and radio work. ==Life and career== Balcon was born in Westminster, London, the daughter of Aileen Freda Leatherman (1904–1988) and Michael Balcon.〔(Deaths England and Wales 1984–2006 )〕 Her family was Jewish, and originated in Latvia on her father's side and Poland on her mother's.〔(Daniel Day-Lewis Unofficial Home Page )〕 Balcon attended Roedean School.〔Tom Vallance ("Jill Balcon: Actress of stage, screen and radio who married the former Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis", ) ''The Independent'', 30 July 2009〕 In 1951, Balcon married Anglo-Irish poet Cecil Day-Lewis, who was 20 years her senior and was married when they began their relationship. He was dividing his time between his mistress Rosamond Lehmann in Oxfordshire, his wife, Mary Day-Lewis, and their two teenage sons, in Devon. Cecil Day-Lewis broke with both his wife and his mistress to be with Balcon for the remainder of his life (although reputedly he was no more faithful to Balcon than he had been to his first wife and to Lehmann). Balcon was cut off by her father when she married Day-Lewis in 1951.〔(''The Guardian'' obituary: Jill Balcon, op cit )〕 Cecil Day-Lewis and Jill Balcon had two children: actor Daniel Day-Lewis and documentary filmmaker/television chef Tamasin Day-Lewis. Balcon died of a brain tumour on 18 July 2009, aged 84.〔(The Stage obit for Jill Balcon )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jill Balcon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
