Nolan, who was born in Somerset, England, on October 29, 1943, began her career as a glamor model under the name Vicki Kennedy before moving into acting.
“She became deeply involved in political theatre and more recently created visual art; deconstructed her own glamour modelling in a series of photomontages,” Wright tweeted.
Nolan was “so funny, sharp and, as you might imagine, full of the most amazing stories,” he wrote.
“I’m so glad I got to know her. My heart goes out to her family and all that loved her. She will be much missed. ”
Nolan has two sons, Oscar Deeks, a cinematographer, and Luke O’Sullivan.

A troubling history is coming to light in a Palm Desert husband’s death. 65-year old Vicky Kim is accused in the death of her husband — but prosecutors say she had previously faced several domestic violence cases involving him. The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office says it had secured protective orders against Kim before a judge later resolved her cases as misdemeanors, released her from custody and terminated those orders. Now, Kim is expected to be arraigned in connection with her husband’s death. Court records allege the weapon used was a flagpole.
