"Many Photos" - Actor Albert Finney has died at the age of 82

Actor Albert Finney has died at the age of 82, a family spokesman revealed today.

The star, who has played Ebenezer Scrooge and Sir Winston Churchill in his long and varied career on stage and screen, died after a short illness.

A statement from a family spokesman said: 'He passed away peacefully after a short illness with those closest to him by his side. The family request privacy at this sad time.' 

The bookmaker's son was born and educated in Salford, Greater Manchester, rising to worldwide stardom but despite being nominated for Oscars five times he never won. 

Finney considered himself anti-establishment and twice turned down honours - a CBE in 1980 and a knighthood in 2000.  

He was married three times, to actresses Jane Wenham and Anouk Aimeé and finally to travel agent Pene Delmage in 2006, who has survived him with his son Simon, from his first marriage.

He had battled heatlth problems in recent years but survived a cancer scare in 2011 - but it is not known if the disease had returned.

He made his movie debut with a small part in The Entertainer in 1960, becoming the face of British cinema for his portrayal of Tom Jones.

Director Tony Richardson then offered Finney the lead in kitchen-sink drama Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, and period romp Tom Jones, which made him a major star.

He most recently starred in the James Bond film Skyfall and the Bourne films.
