Comments
Alexandra Bastedo had been living with the omnipresent threat of breast cancer for seventeen years by the time of her premature death, at the age of 67 in January 2014.
Although she had continued to work periodically in television productions, films and the theatre, most of her energy had been channelled into running her animal sanctuary, a project dear to her heart. Her husband of many years, Patrick Garland – who served two terms as artistic director at the Chichester Festival Theatre – had been ill for some considerable time, and passed away ten months before his wife. Bastedo was ill herself at the time of his death, yet friends and colleagues felt she was rallying. Sadly, it was not to be.
For men of a certain age – and that invariably means my age – it was hard to reconcile her health problems with that beautiful creature who transfixed us every week in the cult 60’s television series “The Champions.” But then, that’s life.
