As a lifelong admirer of the enchanting world of theater and screen, I find myself deeply saddened by the passing of Timothy West, a titan whose indelible mark graced both stages and our television screens for decades. His journey through life was nothing short of extraordinary, a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and a shared love that spanned over six decades with his beloved wife, Prunella Scales.


As a devoted admirer, I’m deeply saddened to share the news that the legendary actor, Timothy West, whose extraordinary career spanned over several decades and encompassed an impressive array of roles, has left us at the age of 90. His family has confirmed this heartbreaking information.

This star was famously associated with extended appearances on Coronation Street and EastEnders, along with numerous other acting gigs in theater and television.

West was married to Fawlty Towers star Prunella Scales, who played Sybil in the comedy series.

The actor passed away tranquilly in his sleep, surrounded by his dear friends and loved ones.

Yesterday evening, our beloved father Timothy West passed away tranquilly during his sleep, concluding an extraordinary life that spanned both on and off the stage. At 90 years of age, he took his final bow.

It’s noted that Tim was surrounded by loved ones – friends and family – in his final moments. He departs behind his wife Prunella Scales, whom he shared 61 years of marriage with, a sister, a daughter, two sons, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. We will all grieve him deeply.

It’s our pleasure to express our heartfelt gratitude to the extraordinary medical team at St George’s Hospital, Tooting, and Avery Wandsworth, for the compassionate care they provided in his final moments.

In 1963, West tied the knot with Prunella Scales, a well-known actress from Fawlty Towers. Three years after that, they were blessed with their firstborn, named Samuel, in 1966.
