Sadly, the news of Nora Scott's passing has left her son, Irish actor Andrew Scott, in a state of devastation. Nora, who was known as the beloved mother of the Fleabag and BBC Sherlock star, passed away suddenly after falling ill on Thursday. While Andrew has not made any public statements yet, his family shared the heartbreaking news on the website RIP.ie.
The family shared that Nora, who was married to Jim and had three children - Sarah, Andrew, and Hannah - passed away peacefully at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin, surrounded by her family and best friend Anne. She was originally from Omagh in County Tyrone but had been living in Sandymount, Dublin. The family also mentioned that she had been battling a sudden illness, which ultimately took her life.
The loss of Nora has been deeply felt by her family, who described her as a loving wife, mother, and friend. She was also a cherished daughter-in-law, sister, and aunt to many. Her funeral is set to take place in Dublin on Tuesday, March 12.
Andrew and Nora shared a close bond, and the actor had even confided in her when he landed a role in an episode of Black Mirror. Despite being sworn to secrecy, he couldn't resist telling his mom. During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Andrew had shared how the whole experience was shrouded in mystery, and he couldn't tell anyone except his mother.
Nora herself had a heartwarming story to share about her encounter with celebrated actor Anthony Hopkins. She had been unwell at the time, and Andrew, who was working with Anthony on a production of King Lear, had mentioned it to the actor. To Nora's surprise, Anthony had sent her three dozen red roses with a sweet note attached, wishing her a speedy recovery. Nora had described him as a "sweetheart" while recalling the kind gesture on RTE's Ryan Tubridy show.
In other news, Andrew has been receiving critical acclaim for his role in the new film All Of Us Strangers, where he stars alongside Paul Mescal. He has been nominated for multiple awards, further cementing his talent and success in the entertainment industry.
