Emma Chambers, who played Honey in the 1999 Hugh Grant-Julia Roberts film “Notting Hill,” has died, the BBC reports. She was 53.
Chambers’ agent, John Grant, told the BBC that the actress died of natural causes on Wednesday, and would be “greatly missed.”
“Emma created a wealth of characters and an immense body of work. She brought laughter and joy to many,” Grant added.
Chambers’ other roles included Alice Tinker on the BBC’s “The Vicar of Dibley.”
Actress Dawn French posted a tribute to her “Vicar of Dibley” costar on Twitter, publishing a picture of Chambers laying on top of her with the caption, “I was regularly humped like this by the unique & beautiful spark that was Emma Chambers. I never minded. I loved her. A lot.”
