Mary Sally Home (27 September 1930 – 3 March 1992), born in Southsea, was a British actress whose career encompassed stage, television and radio.[1]

Life and career

Her stage roles included Carla in Robert Muller's Night Conspirators, alongside Peter Wyngarde, both on television and the subsequent stage play in the West End and on tour.[2] In 1965 she appeared in Anouilh's The Cavern (La grotte) in London, alongside Alec McCowen, Griffith Jones, Geoffrey Bayldon, and Siobhan McKenna, and in 1971 in Coward's Tonight at 8.30 with Millicent Martin.

On the radio she played Claire Nash in the BBC Radio 2 soap opera Waggoners' Walk NW.

Home took a variety of parts in television productions from the 1960s, mainly straight drama but also comedy. In a 1969 BBC TV adaptation of Dickens' Dombey and Son she took the dual roles, of the haughty and tragic Edith Dombey (Granger) and of her cousin the vengeful Alice Marwood.

Home met George Baker when they appeared together in the television series Rupert of Hentzau in 1964[3] and they married ten years later. They had one daughter.[4]
