LOS ANGELES: British actress Jean Simmons, an Emmy Award winner whose career included roles in “Hamlet” and “Spartacus,” died in California Friday.
The Times said Simmons, who earned two Oscar nominations during a long career that spanned seven decades, died at her home in Santa Monica after losing a battle to lung cancer.
The movie star’s manager could not immediately be reached for comment.
Although she worked mostly in television in her later years, appearing in the hit 1983 mini-series “The Thorn Birds,” for which she obtained an Emmy Award, Simmons gained fame in the 1950s and 1960s after starring in several hit films.
Her career took off after she appeared as the doomed Ophelia opposite Laurence Olivier in the legendary actor’s 1948 production of “Hamlet.” Simmons’s performance earned her the first of two Academy Award nominations.
Among her notable early roles were playing the young Estella in David Lean’s classic 1946 adaptation of “Great Expectations.”
Later films included “Guys and Dolls,” “Spartacus” and 1969’s “The Happy Ending,” which earned her a second Oscar nod for her portrayal of an alcoholic wife.
Simmons married twice — to actor Stewart Granger from 1950 to 1960 and to director Richard Brooks from 1960 to 1977. Both marriages ended in divorce.

Madonna Plastic Surgery Before And After. If she did or not is a big question going around for a while now. Many fans defend that she didn’t have any procedure done, but the truth is that she looks somehow different and very good for her age. In many of her public appearances for awards and for her videos and concerts, she looks always youthful and wrinkle free, so the speculation just goes higher.
Madonna is well known for her good working out habits, special diets and life style, so it is not a surprise that she maintain a healthy body, but lately she looks a bit different and people don’t stop to say that she got some plastic surgery procedure done.
At her appearance in the 2007 Oscars she looked good and so young, the options then could be a face lift and of course Botox injections to hide possible wrinkles.
