Iโ€™m sad to report the death of Jean Kent, one of the leading actresses of the 1940s and 50s. Apparently Miss Kent died following a fall at her home in Westhorpe, Suffolk.

Iโ€™d seen her just a couple of years ago at the BFI when she was honoured on her 90th birthday. Here she is talking to her close friend, author and former film critic Michael Thorton:
