On the theatrical stage, Gwynne’s talent shone brightly. She received critical acclaim for her role as ex-PM Margaret Thatcher in The Audience, sharing the stage with Dame Helen Mirren. Gwynne’s ability to balance humor and seriousness was a hallmark of her acting career, earning her nominations for both Olivier and Tony awards for her role in Billy Elliot the Musical on both the West End and Broadway.
Dame Helen Mirren, who worked closely with Gwynne in The Audience, expressed her condolences on Instagram, describing Gwynne as “a delight as a person and a consummate dedicated actress.” The theater community also mourns the loss of a remarkable talent, with colleagues praising her kindness, versatility, and unwavering dedication to her craft.
Apart from her television and stage roles, Gwynne was known for her contributions to various productions, including the stage version of Pedro Almodóvar’s film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and The Threepenny Opera, directed by National Theatre artistic director Rufus Norris.
Gwynne’s sudden passing due to cancer has left the entertainment industry in mourning. Her legacy as a gifted actress and a warm-hearted individual will continue to inspire generations of actors and theater enthusiasts. As the curtains fall on her remarkable career, the world remembers Haydn Gwynne for her extraordinary talent and the indelible mark she left on stage and screen.
