Many viewers have asked about Michael Williams, one of the stars of A FINE ROMANCE. We're very sorry to report that actor Michael Williams, husband of Dame Judi Dench, recently died after a long battle with lung cancer.

Michael Williams and Judi Dench lived up to their Fine Romance image. She called him "my spoony old thing" and he sent her a single red rose every Friday. They met at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where Williams was leading man. They were married in 1971 and were considered one of the most successful couples in British show business. Their daughter, Tar Cressida, (better known as "Finty") is also a respected actor.

Michael Williams co-starred with Dame Judi in the 1980s comedy series A Fine Romance, and was also featured in the drama September Song. They also both appeared in the Franco Zeffirelli film, Tea With Mussolini. Williams supported his wife's rise to worldwide fame in recent years. In 2000 she won an Oscar for Shakespeare In Love and a Tony for her performance in Amy's View. But he was highly regarded as an actor in his own right.

Adrian Noble, artistic director of Royal Shakespeare Company, described Williams as "one of the most gifted and versatile actors of his generation". He said: "He will be remembered fondly for his huge body of work ranging from classical work to his marvelous comic roles on stage, television and film."
