<p>The son of Susannah York, who has died of cancer, has paid tribute to her as a talented actress with an eclectic career and a &#8220;truly wonderful mother&#8221;.</p>
<p>York became a star of the stage and screen and was best known for her role in 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don&#8217;t They?, for which she won a Bafta and was nominated for the best supporting actress Oscar.</p>
<p>She died at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London at the age of 72 after suffering from bone marrow cancer.</p>
<p>Her son, the actor Orlando Wells, said she was admitted to hospital on January 6, three days before her birthday, after suffering pain in her shoulder.</p>
<p>&#8220;She was obviously an incredibly brave woman, because she didn&#8217;t complain at all,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He and sister Sasha are in &#8220;terrible shock&#8221;, but he said of his mother: &#8220;From Sasha and my point of view, she was absolutely the centre of our lives.</p>
<p>&#8220;She was a truly, truly wonderful mother.&#8221;</p>
<p>York enjoyed a varied career that saw her win acclaim for roles in films including A Man For All Seasons, Battle of Britain and Tom Jones.</p>
<p>In more recent years she was seen on television screens in BBC dramas Holby City and Casualty, as well as continuing her work on the stage.</p>
<p>Speaking from his home in south-west London, Wells said: &#8220;What always amazed me about mum was how she managed to garner so many strands of her career.&#8221;</p>
