Billie Honor Whitelaw, CBE (6 June 1932 – 21 December 2014) was an English actress. She worked in close collaboration with Irish playwright Samuel Beckett for 25 years and was regarded as one of the foremost interpreters of his works. She was also known for her portrayal of Mrs Baylock, the demonic nanny in the 1976 horror film The Omen.
Whitelaw was appointed a CBE in the 1991 Birthday Honours.
Whitelaw was born in Coventry, Warwickshire, the daughter of Frances Mary (née Williams) and Gerry Whitelaw. She grew up in a working class part of Bradford and later attended Grange Girls' Grammar School in Bradford. At age 11, she began performing as a child actress on radio programmes, including the part of Bunkle, an extrovert prep-schoolboy on Children's Hour from Manchester, and later worked as an assistant stage manager and acted with the repertory company at the Prince's Theatre in Bradford during high school. Her father died of lung cancer when Billie was 10 years old. Money was tight and her mother struggled on her own to support the family. "It's something I haven't come to terms with ... I'm rather ashamed of having the good life I have", she later recalled.

From "Changing Stages: Between Brecht and Beckett" (BBC, 2000). Clip starts with Harold Pinter reflecting on "Waiting for Godot" and ends with Billie Whitelaw telling about her experiences with Beckett. Contains short footage of Beckett in a viewing room from 1:25 to 1:34.
Billie Whitelaw is Ruth, a divorcée who needs to take in a lodger to keep herself afloat - Donal McCann is Roger, an electrician from Ireland who needs a berth. Although there are others in the cast, the bulk of this 50 minute play is a two-hander between them. We feel more in the silences and dream sequences than in any words or looks they share.

színes, magyarul beszélő, angol thriller, 116 perc, 1972 Tartalom: A Temzéből megfojtott nő holttestét emelik ki, a Londonban garázdálkodó sorozatgyilkos újabb áldozatát. A sajtó tele van a módszere miatt csak "Nyakkendős gyilkos"-nak nevezett megszállott rémtetteivel. Richard Blaney, a Királyi Légierő egykori tisztje nehezen találja a helyét az életben, mióta elveszítette az állását. Sokat iszik, és könnyen méregbe gurul.

Acclaimed actress Billie Whitelaw, famous for her roles on stage and screen, has died at the age of 82. The Coventry-born star, who was made a CBE in 1991, worked in close collaboration with playwright Samuel Beckett, who described her as a perfect actress. She died in the early hours of Sunday at a nursing home in London, her son Matthew Muller told the BBC. "I could not have asked for a more loving mum," he said. "She had an incredible career - but first and foremost she was my mum - and that's who I will miss," he added. Whitelaw made her radio acting debut aged just 11. In 1950, she made her first stage appearance in Bradford in a performance of Pink String and Sealing Wax, before moving into films and television. She was well known for her role as Mrs Baylock in horror film The...

When I was a small boy
Here in London town
Seasons snow was falling on the ground
All the friends and family
Here on Christmas Eve
Gather round to dress
The Christmas tree
But daddy's down at the pub
Full of Christmas cheer
Probably won't come home
Until next year
Oh the Christmas bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing
But Daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
Santa's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling
But Daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin, he's yellin'
At the Christmas tree

Granny likes a joke
But no one laughs when
Daddy's stumbles home
But he don't fall asleep
Wah! The night was getting black
You see, oh God,

Oh the Christmas bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing
But Daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
Santa's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling

He's yellin, he's yellin'
At the Christmas tree
Well alright now yeah...
Well alright now...
Yellin' at the Christmas tree
Santa came down the chimney
But then he ran upstairs
Jumped in bed with Mommy
She didn't care
Across the room went the fruitcakes
Ah, the wreath came off the door
If these are holidays I can take no more
Every year it's the same old thing
Like Rudolph's red nose
Hearing this story will never get old
Oh the Christmas bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing
But Daddy, he don't hear 'em
He's yellin' at the Christmas tree
Santa's balls are jingling
Mommy's hips a-wiggling
