Barbara Leigh-Hunt Dies: British Stage Star Who Appeared In Hitchcock’s ‘Frenzy’ Was 88
Barbara Leigh-Hunt, who appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Frenzy,' dozens of other films and TV and starred on West End and Broadway stages, has died at 88.
She was the ex-wife of Richard Blaney (Jon Finch), who is suspected of the crime that actually was committed by his friend Bob Rusk (Barry Foster), to whom he turns unwittingly for help. She also did extensive work in British TV, guesting on dozens of series and playing Lady Catherine de Bourgh opposite Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle in the BBC’s 1995 miniseries Pride & Prejudice. Her big-screen credits range from Henry VIII and His Six Wives and Oh Heavenly Dog to A Merry War, Billy Elliot and most recently Mira Nair’s 2004 Vanity Fair, starring Reese Witherspoon.
