Helen died of cancer in 2021 at age 52. In 2022, in an interview with Good Morning Britain, Damian said, “She was a fabulous human being, and people from all walks of life have been in touch to say what an impact she had on their lives.”

The Guardian also named Damian and Helen one of “Britain’s most feted acting couples” of all time.

Director Michael Attenborough recalled seeing the duo fall in love, telling British Vogue, “I witnessed two people falling for each other hook, line, and sinker, which, of course, worked brilliantly in the play.”
