Outstanding English actress Sylvia May Laura Syms OBE was born on January 6, 1934, and died on January 27, 2023 at the of 89 years. Sylvia Syms, the newest new face in British films in the later 1950s, has tenaciously maintained her profession in all acting mediums.
Not many attractive young stars grow into fulfilling character actors, but Sylvia Syms has. Watch The Master of the Moor (ITV, 1994), a perfectly ordinary Ruth Rendell mystery, come to life for a few minutes when Syms unexpectedly appears as a mother who has been missing for a long time, and you will understand what character acting means: in her maturity, she can suggest all the appropriate resonances that give the role a sense of a past.
