Margolyes, 83, has had an incredibly successful career, starring in a range of family-friendly films such as Babe and Flushed Away on top of her more prestigious roles such as that in Baz Luhrmann\u2019s award-winning Romeo and Juliet and her work in the theatre.\n
In a recent interview, the beloved actress shared a heartbreaking update on her health and the internet has been left feeling devastated.\n
\u201cShe\u2019s an absolute legend. A wonderful person and will be a great loss,\u201d one fan writes.\n Another pens: \u201cShe\u2019s awesome. She\u2019s been an advocate for justice and inclusion and we will be losing another of the good ones but her legacy is of amazing warmth and wisdom. I will miss her.\u201d\n \u201cThere must be something in the Wizarding World to save this one!\u201d another says.\n In 2002, Margolyes received an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for Services to Drama.\n She has also won a BAFTA for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for The Age of Innocence, and Best Supporting Actress at the LA Critics Circle Awards for Little Dorrit.\n When asked about her work earlier this year, the British\u2013Australian actress said: \u201cI love making people laugh. I\u2019ve done that all my life.\u201d\n Many people will remember Margolyes as Professor Sprout from the Harry Potter franchise.\n She made headlines earlier this year when she declared that adult fans of the iconic film series should \u2018grow up\u2019 and \u2018get over it.\u2019\n Known for her no-nonsense, very outspoken personality, the star sparked a heated debate among fans at the time.\n \u201cI do Cameos (personalised video messages) and people say they are doing a Harry Potter-themed wedding, and I think, \u2018Oh gosh what is their first night of fun going to be?\u2019 I can\u2019t even think about it. Harry Potter is wonderful, I\u2019m very grateful to it. It\u2019s over. That\u2019s what I think,\u201d she said in an interview with New Zeland\u2019s 1News.\n Last year, Margolyes revealed that she had undergone heart surgery.\n In an interview on the Table Manners podcast with Jessie and Lennie Ware, she explained the surgery in more detail: \u201cI\u2019ve got a cow\u2019s heart now,\u201d she revealed. \u201cWell, not the whole heart. I\u2019ve had an aortic valve replaced by a cow\u2019s aortic valve.\n \u201cI don\u2019t know how common it is. I\u2019d never heard of that operation. But it saves you from having open heart surgery, which would be infinitely more invasive.\u201d\n Mayo Clinic explains that, a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a procedure \u2018to replace an aortic valve that is narrowed and doesn\u2019t open fully.\u2019\n During TAVR, a doctor replaces a damaged aortic valve with one made from cow or pig heart tissue.\n Margolyes also has spinal stenosis, which occurs when the space inside the backbone is too small. \u201cThis can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that travel through the spine,\u201d the Mayo Clinic says.\n Despite her recent health woes, the Call The Midwife star says she will continue to work.\n Speaking to the Radio Times, she said: \u201cI\u2019m worried that I won\u2019t have enough money for carers when I finally get paralyzed or whatever it is that\u2019s going to happen to me. I\u2019m saving up cash so that I can pay people to look after me and my partner.\u201d\n For the first time in 12 years, despite her recent heart surgery and spinal condition, Margolyes will be performing at the largest performing arts festival in the world, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where she will \u2018bring to life the most colorful and iconic characters\u2019 from the novels of Charles Dickens.\n However, in a recent interview with The Telegraph, she talked about the effects that her medical conditions are having on her acting career.\n Margolyes said: \u201cI yearn to play roles that don\u2019t confine me to wheelchairs, but I\u2019m just not strong enough.\u201d She said that her health issues are \u2018limiting and depressing.\u2019\n The actress admitted that she feels as though her life is nearing its end.\n \u201cWhen you know that you haven\u2019t got long to live \u2013 and I\u2019m probably going to die within the next five or six years, if not before, I\u2019m loath to leave behind performing. It\u2019s such a joy,\u201d she said.\n Source: igvofficial.com\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Margolyes, 83, has had an incredibly successful career, starring in a range of family-friendly films such as Babe and Flushed Away on top of her more prestigious roles such as that in Baz Luhrmann\u2019s award-winning Romeo and Juliet and her work in the theatre.
