"Harry Potter" Actress Miriam Margolyes Reveals She Doesn't Have Much Longer to Live
Yara Sameh 'Harry Potter' star Miriam Margolyes sadly shared that she doesn't have much longer to live due to a debilitating health condition. The actress — who portrayed beloved Professor Sprout in the popular fantasy franchise — made the revelation while speaking to the Times about her retirement from the big screen. 'When you know that you haven't got long to live — and I'm probably going to die within the next five or six years, if not before — I'm loath to leave behind performing,' Margolyes said. 'It's such a joy. I yearn to play roles that don't confine me to wheelchairs, but I'm just not strong enough.' The 'Age of Innocence' star, 84, first got candid about her health woes during an interview on the 'Table Manners' podcast in 2023. At the time, she admitted to undergoing heart surgery, saying, 'I've got a cow's heart now.' 'Well, not the whole heart. I've had an aortic valve replaced by a cow's aortic valve,' Margolyes continued. 'I don't know how common it is. I'd never heard of that operation. But it saves you from having open heart surgery, which would be infinitely more invasive.' At the time, Margolyes also told British Vogue that she was no longer afraid of death. 'When you're young, you never think about death. You just think about your next f—k basically. I think about death a lot,' she quipped. 'You can't help but be aware that the amount of time ahead is less than the time before you,'. 'I'm still ducking and diving. I'm still open to new experiences. I'm just very conscious that there is no light at the end of the tunnel," Margolyes added. She openly shared that her biggest concern was running out of money before she passed away. In 2024, Margolyes announced she was battling spinal stenosis and couldn't walk anymore. 'I'm registered disabled. I use all kinds of assistance,' she told Closer Magazine. 'I've got two sticks and a walker and they're such a bore, but I've just got a mobility scooter, which is a lot of fun.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

‘Love on the Spectrum' Stars Slam RFK Jr.'s Autism Comments as ‘Extremely Ignorant' and ‘Downright Offensive': ‘We Don't Need to Be Fixed'
The stars of Netflix's 'Love on the Spectrum' are speaking out against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his comments about autism. In a sit down with NewsNation 'Love on the Spectrum' star Dani Bowman said Kennedy is 'completely false' by saying that autistic people 'will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem, they'll never go on a date.' More from Variety Netflix To Debut First-Look at 'Stranger Things: Tales From '85,' 'In Your Dreams' at Annecy, World-Premiere 'Fixed' 'Age of Innocence,' 'Unaccustomed Earth' Series Adaptations Set at Netflix 'Sweet Magnolias' Renewed for Season 5 at Netflix 'Autistic people have the same hopes, dreams and yes, the same awkward dating moments as anyone else,' Bowman said. 'To generalize and say none of us can work, date or contribute to society, is completely false. I have a job. I do pay taxes. I've dated. I have a master's degree.' She continued, 'Wanting to cure autism implies that our way of being is wrong and it isn't. We don't need to be fixed. We need to be supported. But the answer isn't erasing autism, it's building a more inclusive world for all of us.' James B. Jones shared his thoughts on Kennedy over TikTok. The Netflix reality star said that he found the statements were 'extremely ignorant, and to be perfectly frank, downright offensive.' 'I am old enough, I am of sufficient age that I can remember a time when society did not have a very thorough understanding of autism or similar forms of neurodiversity,' Jones said. 'So, I am very displeased, very disheartened to hear someone make comments of that nature.' Jones added that attending special education programs was 'immensely helpful' when he was young, and that they 'helped me to grow and develop into the person I am today.'
