British actor, Hilary Heath, best known for her role in the horror movie 'Witchfinder General', has died of COVID-19 complications. Hilary Heath was 74. Born in Liverpool, England, she made her big-screen debut in the Michael Reeves' horror movie Witchfinder General in 1968.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, her death was confirmed by her godson, Alex Williams on Facebook.
Alex Williams wrote on Facebook, "We lost my wonderful Godmother Hilary Heath to COVID-19 last week. Hilary had many careers, starting out as a screen and stage actress in the 1960s and 1970s, and then re-inventing herself as a producer in the 1990s, making films like Nil by Mouth (Gary Oldman) and An Awfully Big Adventure (Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman). Her most remarkable re-invention came in her mid-60s, when she won a master's degree from Oxford in psychology and became an addiction counsellor, specialising in CBT. She worked at clinics all over the world, often for free, often with very deprived and distressed individuals, and she regarded this as her most valuable work by far. She was a force of nature, and I can't bear it that she is no longer with us."
Apart from acting, Hilary had bankrolled films such as An Awfully Big Adventure in 1995, and also Gary Oldman's Nil by Mouth in 1997.
