I have a habit of looking up actors and I saw this marvellous actresses in several films.
It always makes me sad when I come across someone who passed away far too early.

Completely agree with you about how sad it is to watch a movie, check out the actors - and find they passed away too early. I watched 'Landfall' on Talking Pictures this afternoon. Michael Denison & Patricia Plunkett are/were excellent....

I too looked up Patricia Plunkett after watching her in a film and likewise felt sad for her dying so young. I tried to find out a little bit more about her but found very little about her other than her films which I felt equally sad too about such a talented actress not having more of her life history published
