Man in serious condition after home invasion; Pedestrian fighting for life | 9 News Australia
Tributes are pouring in from around the world following the peaceful passing of beloved British actor Anthony Head at the age of 72. Best known for his iconic, generational roles as the wise librarian mentor Rupert Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the sharp-tongued football villain Rupert Mannion in the hit Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, Head’s remarkable career spanned nearly 50 years across television, film, and theatre.
In this special news report, Europe correspondent Josh Bavas details the final months of the actor’s life and the heartbreak of his family. Only a few months prior, Anthony Head lost his long-term partner, the dedicated animal welfare campaigner Sarah Fisher, who passed away at the age of 61.
His daughters, actresses Emily Head and Daisy Head, confirmed that their father passed away from complications arising from pneumonia. In a touching joint statement, they shared: “It has been, and forever will be, an honour and a privilege to be his daughters, and to have witnessed firsthand the impact both he and his work have had on so many.”
The video also looks back at his incredibly versatile body of work, from his satirical comedic turn as the Prime Minister in the BBC’s sketch comedy Little Britain alongside David Walliams, to his sophisticated big-screen performance opposite Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady. From his early breakout days to his final critically acclaimed roles, Anthony Head remained a master of his craft, bringing a unique blend of warmth, charm, and intelligence to every performance.
