The A Clockwork Orange star passed away at a London hospital on Friday (03Jun11) and the news was confirmed by Equity actors’ union spokesman Martin Brown, who called Karlin a “wonderful actress” and a “marvellous friend”.
Karlin began her career on the stage but made a transfer to onscreen roles in films such as The Entertainer, The Millionairess and a part in British TV show The Rag Trade. She also appeared in Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 classic A Clockwork Orange as a woman murdered by Malcolm McDowell’s onscreen character.
She was bestowed with an Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1975 and made her last film appearance in 2008 opposite Daniel Craig in Flashbacks of a Fool.
