Brenda Fricker was born in Dublin in 1945. She worked at The Irish Times before becoming an acclaimed actress whose career spanned six decades across stage and screen.

For her performance in the 1989 Irish biographical drama movie My Left Foot, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

This made her the first Irish actress to take home an Oscar. She dedicated the award to "all the people of Ireland".

Ms Fricker was also known to many for her role in the hit Hollywood sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

She also had roles in the movies Albert Nobbs, Angels in the Outfield, A Time to Kill, The Field, Omagh, So I Married an Axe Murderer, and Veronica Guerin, as well as the series Casualty.

Earlier this year, Dublin City Council announced that Fricker would be awarded the Freedom of Dublin in recognition of her exceptional contribution to Irish arts and culture.
