Actor Damian Lewis paid a heartfelt tribute to his late wife Helen McCrory, who died last week, battling cancer. She was 52 when she breathed her last. The 'Billions' star, honoured McCrory, who was widely known for her roles as Narcissa Malfoy in the popular 'Harry Potter' films and Polly Gray in 'Peaky Blinders', in an emotional tribute written for The Sunday Times, in which he reflected on his "brilliant" wife's life, reported People magazine.

"Many people have spoken about her career and many more will, so that's where I'll leave it, because it strikes me that two things are happening this weekend: an outpouring of grief and shock, and a celebration of Helen McCrory the actress from fans everywhere, and of Helen the person. And that's who I want to talk about," Lewis said of the actor.
