Susannah York (9 January 1939 – 15 January 2011) was an English film, stage and television actress. York was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe for They Shoot Horses, Don't They? and won best actress for Images at Cannes Film Festival. An obituary in The Telegraph characterised her as ‘the blue-eyed English rose with the china-white skin and cupid lips who epitomised the sensuality of the swinging Sixties’.
