Katrin Cartlidge

Actress Katrin Cartlidge has died, aged 41. She died of died of complications from pneumonia and septicaemia.

Best known to the general public for her role in the Channel 4 soap Brookside, she was a highly regarded screen and stage actress. She appeared in such films as Topsy Turvey, Naked and No Man's Land. Her stage career included work at the Royal Court, the National and for Théâtre de Complicité. Most recently she played in Boy Gets Girl at the Royal Court last year, about which our critic Philip Fisher wrote:

The star, however, is Katrin Cartlidge as Teresa. She starts off as a witty, sassy young woman at ease with herself. As the pressure of being haunted by a possibly murderous stalker builds, Cartlidge's body language and facial expressions show the stress that she is under. By the end of the play, she has cracked and a tearful actress introduces her new, heavily symbolic pseudonym, Claire Howells. This really is a bravura performance from a very talented actress.
