Plowright's family confirmed her passing in a statement obtained by the BBC, sharing "with great sadness" that she had "passed away peacefully" yesterday, Jan. 16, with her family by her side after "a long and illustrious career across theatre, film and TV" that lasted more than seven decades.
The British actress, who was preceded in death by her husband, Sir Laurence Olivier—the namesake of the famed Olivier Awards—only retired after she started to lose her vision.
Plowright won a Tony Award in 1961 for her performance in A Taste of Honey, where she played Angela Lansbury's troubled teen daughter. The role also brought her recognition in the United States.
She married her late husband one year after starring as his daughter in The Entertainer. She also became a leading member of the National Theatre, which Olivier founded. He passed in 1989, after 28 years of marriage.
