Sylvia Anderson, co-creator of the classic Thunderbirds TV series and voice of Lady Penelope, has passed away aged 88 after a short illness.
“Sylvia was a mother and a legend. Her intelligence was phenomenal but her creativity and tenacity unchallenged,” said her daughter Dee Anderson. “She was a force in every way, and will be sadly missed.”
The writer and producer married Gerry Anderson in 1960, and together they developed the Supermarionation production technique, collaborating on shows such as Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Joe 90.
