86 Year Old Veteran British Film Director Bryan Forbes Dies As A Result Of Long Lonliness.

Veteran film director and author Bryan Forbes has died at the age of 86 following a long illness.
The creator of 1970s classic horror film The Stepford Wives died surrounded by family members at his home in Virginia Water, Surrey.
After working as an actor in London’s West End, Mr Forbes went on to become one of the UK’s most respected directors.
He released a string of hits, including 1961’s Whistle Down the Wind, which he later described as his most popular film.
His varied work was recognised in 2004 when the director was awarded a CBE for services to the arts and the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.
Mr Forbes counted the late Queen Mother amongst his friends and worked with some of the UK’s most high-profile stars, including Roger Moore, Elton John and Michael Caine.
