. Her most recent work is the murder mystery, Rosemary and Thyme. Leigh has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6773 Hollywood Blvd. She starred in the first productions of many of his plays; in 1991 Stoppard left his wife to start a relationship with her. She was cremated and her ashes were scattered on the lake at Tickerage Mill, near Blackboys, Sussex, London, England. Her relationship with playwright Tom Stoppard was both personal and professional. The actress died of chronic tuberculosis in her London home.

Kendal's stage career blossomed during the eighties and nineties. Joan Plowright, third wife and widow of Olivier, later claimed that during much of Olivier's marriage to Leigh he was having a longterm homosexual relationship with the American actor Danny Kaye. Despite this, she maintained her popularity. Leigh continued to keep a framed photograph of him on her bedside table, even while living with her companion, actor John Merivale. After series ended, she starred in several other BBC sitcoms, none of which came anywhere near the success of The Good Life. In 1960, she and Olivier divorced on supposedly friendly terms. She was particularly popular with male viewers, and was voted "Rear of the Year" for her appearances wearing wellington boots. She had also been plagued by manic-depression for some time, which was believed to be a factor in the failure to cure her ailment.

On her return to Britain, she found that her film appearance was not a passport to success, and her struggle to build an acting career was long and difficult, partly because of her unusual upbringing. In 1975, she got her big break with the sitcom, The Good Life, which made her a household name. By the early 1960s Leigh had suffered two miscarriages, and the severity of the tuberculosis was incapacitating. Felicity made her stage debut in these productions, and at the age of nineteen, starred in the film, Shakespeare Wallah (1965), loosely based on her family's real-life experience. In 1951, however, Leigh won a second Academy Award for her portrayal of Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire. They performed Shakespeare to audiences consisting mostly of schoolchildren. Though she continued her career with such plays as Thornton Wilder's Skin of Our Teeth, and the 1946 film Caesar and Cleopatra, her illness was getting worse. She is the younger sister of the late Jennifer Kendal and the daughter of Geoffrey Kendal, an English actor who made his living leading a repertory company on tours of India after the Second World War. In 1944, the actress was diagnosed as having a tuberculosis patch on her left lung.
