Line of Duty and Ludwig star Anna Maxwell Martin spoke movingly this week of how her world was turned upside down when her ex-husband Roger Michell died four years ago.
Now details have emerged of how double BAFTA-winner and Notting Hill director Michell, 65, died - and the aftermath for the family.
Roger Michell, the ex-husband of Line Of Duty star Anna Maxwell Martin , died of a heart attack and a fatty build up in his coronary artery The actress said her immediate priority was to protect their daughters, Maggie, 15, and Nancy, 13, while facing an uncertain financial future. The couple first met when Michell directed Martin in the 2004 adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel Enduring Love. She was 26 at the time, while he was 48.
'I don't know anybody who's been through what my children have been through. So my focus was just on them, and I didn't really start to grieve for Roger until probably six months ago.' Describing her first experience of loss, she explained: 'When it happened to me and I was 24, I was very lonely. I was very isolated because no-one had been through what I'd been through. I didn't know those people.
When Anna announced her split from Michell in 2020 in an interview with the Mail on Sunday's You magazine, she said: 'Our marriage has ended and we've been separated for quite some time.'There are four children to think about. It's taken an enormous amount of time, but we are all getting through it in a healthy way.'
