Her film career included roles in ''Prudence and the Pill'' (1968), ''Crooks and Coronets'' (1969), ''The Mind of Mr. Soames'' (1970), ''Chandler'' (1971), ''Ruby and Oswald'' (1978), ''The Good Soldier'' (1981), and ''The Return of the Soldier'' (1982). In 1969 she met Warren Oates while filming ''Crooks and Coronets'' and they married. They were divorced in 1974. She was also a successful novelist and her published novels included ''Focussing'','' Lovers of Africa'' (''Love & Hunger'' in the USA), ''The Testimony of Daniel Pagels'' and ''Delicate Matters''. Vickery's fifth novel - ''Lost Heir'' - was scheduled to be published around the time of her death. ==External links== * 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「Vickery Turner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
