In a candid health update, Miriam Margolyes heartbreakingly acknowledged that she “doesn’t have long left to live”. Notable for her portrayal as Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter series,
the 83-year-old actress is now coping with spinal stenosis, a disorder that narrows the spinal canal and puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Margolyes has continued to work in the entertainment sector despite her diagnosis. Margolyes has made a substantial living from her acting jobs in addition to her book and fan connections.
She reportedly made close to $500,000 selling her book alone last year, and since 2020, she has made close to $700,000 from creating customized films for fans on Cameo.
Nevertheless, Margolyes has expressed her worries about the future—specifically, her health and the possibility of needing care—despite her recent financial success.
