Earl Cameron, who with his debut role in the 1951 film Pool of London, became one of the first significant black actors in British cinema, has died aged 102.
Cameron’s significance to the current generation of black British actors was underlined by tributes on social media.
Cameron was married twice; his first wife Audrey died in 1994, and he is survived by his second wife Barbara.
I got mostly small parts, and that was extremely frustrating – not just for me but for other black actors.
