Helen McCrory, the late English actress, gave her whole £850K estate to her husband Damian Lewis and their two children. According to the will documents, the Harry Potter actress placed her money in a trust and appointed the Coutts bank and her husband Damian as trustees. Manon (15) and Gulliver (14), as well as any future grandchildren, have been identified as beneficiaries. McCrory, who most recently appeared in Netflix’s Peaky Blinders, died in April 2021 after a long battle with breast cancer. She had been married to Lewis since 2007 and was 52 years old at the time.

Helen McCrory’s net worth was enormous at the time of her death.
McCrory’s net worth, when coupled with her husband’s, was roughly £20.7 million ($25 million) at the time of her death, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Helen was granted an OBE in 2017 for her contributions to the theater. She was most recognized for her role as Aunt Polly, the Shelby family matriarch, in Netflix’s criminal drama series Peaky Blinders. She died while shooting the last season of the program.
Helen McCrory also appeared in the Harry Potter series as Narcissa Malfoy. Aside from that, she appeared in Skyfall and The Queen in 2006. Other works include The Fragile Heart, Anna Karenina, North Square, In a Land of Plenty, The Jury, The Last King, Becoming Jane, Life, Leaving, Penny Dreadful, Fearless, MotherFatherSon, His Dark Materials, and more. During her career, she has garnered several awards, including a BAFTA for Streetlife (1995), a Broadcasting Press Guild Award for North Square, and a Golden FIPA at the Biarritz International Festival of Audiovisual Programming.
In terms of charity efforts, McCrory and Damian helped fund £1.5 million for Feed NHS during the epidemic. She made her last television appearance on Good Morning Britain in March 2021 to discuss their work with the Prince’s Trust. Helen had persuaded Damian to go on dates and find love again, Damian confessed. Damian said in an op-ed piece published in the Sunday Times in April 2021:
“Her kindness has extended to urging the three of us to live. Live wholeheartedly, seize chances, and go on experiences. ‘I want Daddy to have girlfriends, many of them, you must all love again, love isn’t possessive,’ she whispered from her bed. But, Damian, try to make it through the funeral without snogging anybody.'”
Helen McCrory’s death comes only days after Damian Lewis was romantically connected to American artist Alison Mosshart. The two were spotted on multiple occasions, possibly confirming the couple’s claims. Earlier this week, the couple was seen at The House of KOKO’s summer party.
