Love Actually star left in dead person's clothes after friend stole her money

A late Love Actually actress who was living in a care home was left forced to wear clothes from deceased residents after a friend stole her money.

Brian Malam had power of attorney over his friend Margaret Wright's money but spent years helping himself to tens of thousands of pounds of her savings. Mrs Wright is better known by her professional name Meg Wynn Owen under which she featured in a host of popular TV shows and films including Love Actually, Doctor Who, Under Milk Wood, Pride and Prejudice, and Upstairs Downstairs.

Sending Malam to prison, a judge told the 60-year-old costume designer he abused the trust placed in him by virtue of the legal powers he had been granted, and he had "betrayed" his friend of many years, Wales Online reports.
