Died: January 16, 2021. CHARLOTTE Cornwell, who has died aged 71, was an actress of fearlessness and class, who combined tenures with the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre with a TV career that tapped into a more contemporary grit. Beyond acting, as a political activist and champion of justice, she was, as fellow actor Ian McKellen described her in a tribute on Twitter, ‘indomitable’. She found fame in Rock Follies (1976), Howard Schuman’s Fringe theatre-styled musical drama that charted the fortunes of the girl group, The Little Ladies. She played Anna, the most strident and driven of the group, alongside Julie Covington as the punky Dee and Rula Lenska as the aristocratic Q.

Sir Eddie Kulukundis, who has died aged 88, was a scion of five generations of Greek shipping brokers and used his inheritance to become a noted theatrical impresario and generous patron of the arts and sport, giving away millions of pounds – in lump sums, allowances and thoughtful gifts – to hundreds of young hopefuls.
As a theatre producer Kulukundis brought more than 100 productions to the West End including successes ranging from What the Butler Saw to A Little Night Music and Carmen Jones.
