Sir Antony Sher was ' a giant of the stage at the height of his genius.' RIP

Sher's notable contributions to society also came away from the stage and screen. He and his husband, Gregory Doran, became one of the first couples to have a civil partnership in the UK after same-sex unions became legal there in 2005. The couple, who collaborated on many projects together, tied the knot in December 2015, nearly two years after the UK legalized gay marriage.Helen MirrenIn a statement to ET, Mirren said,"I am devastated to hear of the death of Antony Sher.

"We were buried in our scripts. I read the first words of our scene together and he answered. I raised my eyes above the pages to look at him more precisely, as with simply those minimal words I immediately realized I was opposite a great actor. Of course, he went on to become the celebrated artist he was, but the extraordinary ability was born in him, as natural to him as breathing: it was as clear as a summer sky.
