January 16, 2011: Susannah York Dies Aged 72

Sussanah York Actress Susannah York, best known to Superman fans as Lara, the Kryptonian mother of baby Kal-El in the film "Superman: The Movie", passed away Friday aged 72.

The British actress had been suffering from cancer.

    Following her death, the actress' son Orlando Wells said: 'She was an absolutely fantastic mother, who was very down to earth.

    'She loved nothing more than cooking a good Sunday roast and sitting around a fire of a winter's evening. In some sense, she was quite a home girl. Both my sister Sasha and I feel incredibly lucky to have her as a mother.

    'She was a woman with grace and stature. She had advanced bone marrow cancer which she had an operation for.

    'But, last Thursday, she had a scan and then the descent was fast.

    'In the end, her death was painless and quick.'
