Line of Duty star in state of 'financial terror' following sudden death of filmmaker ex-husband

ok.co.uk:

Anna Maxwell Martin, who is known for starring in dramas such as Line Of Duty and Bleak House, has candidly opened up about her financial fears after the death of her ex-husband, Roger Michell, in 2021.

Filmmaker Roger died suddenly aged 65 just a year after the couple announced their separation. And with Anna sharing two children; Maggie, 15, and Nancy, 13, with Roger, she admits it was a scary time financially as she became their sole parent. "My husband died three years ago and things were really difficult on every aspect of our lives.

One of those was that there's a lot of stuff that comes with grief, and one of them is financial terror. And then there are real practicalities around your children and their mental health, and supporting them, which is your priority," she said while talking with the BBC Women's Hour.

Roger's passing wasn't Anna's first brush with grief, as she also suffered tragedy aged 24 when her dad passed away - something which she admits has helped her deal with Roger's death.
