"Jill Freud, a stage star who was also an inspiration for the character of Lucy
in CS Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, has died aged 98.

The news was announced by her daughter, Emma Freud, who wrote: “My beautiful
98-year-old mum has taken her final bow. After a loving evening – where we knew
she was on her way – surrounded by children, grandchildren and pizza, she told
us all to fuck off so she could go to sleep. And then she never woke up. Her
final words were ‘I love you’.”"

RIP,
