Cillian even added that she was the matriarch of Peaky Blinders and was his closest colleague on the show
He admitted that his scenes alongside Polly were his always favorites and that she was one of the best actors he had ever worked with. But what made her the best was how she was as a human.
It is really sad that she is no more and Cillian like others is too having a tough time accepting it and dealing with the same. He terribly misses her.
When the filming started on the new series in April, the directors and producers shared a heartfelt tribute to Helen McCrory, with a pretty clapperboard which showcased her character’s face being used on the set.
The picture of the same was even posted on the official Instagram account of the show with a touching caption “Forever part of the Peaky Blinders family.”
Actor Damien Lewis, Helen’s husband confirmed his wife’s death saying that she had a heroic battle with cancer.
The Peaky Blinders team even shared a tribute at the time with a show statement which said “ Helen’s performance as Polly Grey was inspirational, joyous, transgressive, hilarious and incredibly moving.”
