My fondest memory of Cleo is in 1963, when we were sitting in the Biology Laboratory at Camden School for Girls, discussing our new boyfriends. Cleo had just met Mick, who was a student at the London School of Economics, but left shortly after to become the famous lead singer for the Rolling Stones. My boyfriend, Derek (not so famous!) was later to become my husband and Cleo's Optometrist.
After leaving school, we stayed in touch and saw Cleo's acting career take off in 'Wise Child' with Sir Alec Guinness, her record 'To know him is to Love him' was launched and very much later on, she played opposite Sir Antony Sher, at the Almeida.
Derek and I send our heartfelt condolences to Zoe, Lucy and Rupert and all the family and friends and wish you the strength and comfort to bear your loss. Cleo will be sorely missed by all who had the fortune of knowing her and how special she was.
With love from us both, Sheila & Derek Spivack

My family and I are so privileged to have known Cleo. Always a pleasure to speak to when we bumped in to her around the neighbourhood. We would stop and chat for hours. She announced my engagement mid set when doing a gig at the Rosemary branch. Such a wonderful person. Cleo will be dearly missed. I will forever cherish the last good catch up we had just a few short weeks ago. Condolences to Lucy, her siblings and the rest of the family. Love from Izzard and Izzard-Davies family.
