Benedict Cumberbatch lost his sister to cancer
The 62-year-old sister of movie star Benedict Cumberbatch has died from a malignant neoplasm she battled for 7 years. The inconsolable actor called her an amazing person out of this world.

The 45-year-old star of the Sherlock series, a participant in many Hollywood projects, including films about superheroes, Benedict Cumberbatch said that he had lost his 62-year-old sister, Tracey Peacock. For 7 years she fought a battle with a severe malignant neoplasm. Tracy refrained from public life and did not often appear in front of camera lenses, like her star brother. Until recently, no one knew that this woman was sick.

Benedict Cumberbatch, who will soon be seen in another film adaptation of the adventures of Spider-Man, said that he was saddened to the limit. According to him, Tracy was very different from the whole world and was an absolutely unique person. She was an excellent artist, but also did restoration work, restoring canvases, frames and carpentry. At the same time, the woman constantly gave her relatives unique Christmas holiday cards.

Tracy's mother, like Benedict's, is actress Wanda Ventem. True, their fathers are different. Tracy often looked after her little brother, and once accidentally left him on an icy roof, which she subsequently constantly worried about. Cumberbatch himself likes to remember this moment of his life with a smile. He loved his sister very much. (READ MORE)
