British actress Sarah Marshall dies

British actress Sarah Marshall, a Tony-nominated veteran, who later appeared in memorable episodes of TV's 'Star Trek' and 'The Twilight Zone', has died. She was 80.
Marshall died on Saturday in Los Angeles following a long battle with cancer, her daughter-in-law, Trixie Flynn, said, according to Hollywood Reporter.
Marshall was the daughter of noted British actors Herbert Marshall and Edna Best.
She made her feature film debut opposite Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward in the adaptation of William Faulkner's 'The Long, Hot Summer' (1958), but her most notable work came on Broadway.
Marshall toured nationally with Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne and received a best supporting actress Tony Award nomination for playing Rusty Mayerling in Goodbye, Charlie and a New York Drama Critics Award for her work as Bonnie Dee Ponder in 'The Ponder Heart', both of which opened in 1959.

Born in London on May 25, 1933, Marshall also appeared on Broadway in 'Dream Girl' (1951), 'Idiot's Delight' (1951), 'Charley's Aunt' (1953) and 'The World of Suzie Wong' (1958).

In 'Jane' (1952), directed by Cyril Ritchard, she worked opposite her mother, and in 'Come Blow Your Horn' (1961), she met actor Karl Held, her future husband of 50 years.
In 1972, Marshall and Held moved to London. Returning to Los Angeles in 1979, Marshall starred opposite Roscoe Lee Browne in the short-lived CBS series 'Miss Winslow and Son'.
Marshall was also married to three-time Oscar-nominated set decorator and regular Woody Allen collaborator Mel Bourne from 1952-57.

In addition to Flynn and Held, Marshall is survived by son Timothy, grandchildren Seamus, Sarah, Timothy and Eliza and half-sister Ann.
