Quick and Nighy’s relationship of 27 years has come to an end. Demanding work schedules are thought to be the reason behind the separation. Bill has spent months away from home in recent years filming.
“‘Bill and Diana separated amicably. They remain great friends.’ They denied that a third party was involved in the demise of their relationship.”
Diana is said to have saved Bill from a drinking problem years ago and the two have a 24-year-old daughter together. Although the two were never married, Diana has described Bill “as her ‘de facto husband’ or POSSLQ - Person of the Opposite Sex Sharing Living Quarters.
Quick was born November 23, 1946, which makes her age 61. She grew up in Kent but now makes her home in London. Diana began acting at a young age and was the president of the Oxford University Dramatic Society, the first female to take on that role.
At 17, Quick joined the National Youth Theatre. Her most famous role came in 1981 when she played Julia Flyte in “Brideshead Revisited.” That was also the same year she met Bill. They were both performing at the National Theatre. She was the more famous of the two at the time appearing on magazines with captions like ‘Is this the most beautiful women in the world?’
As a filmography, Quick has appeared in such movies as “The Discovery of Heaven,” “Saving Grace” and “The Odd Job.” Diana has also starred in several television shows including “Dr. Who” and “Sensitive Skin.” With all their acting and time apart, being faithfull doesn’t seem to be a question. Quick described her take on that issue a couple years ago.
“Physical passion was important to me when I was younger, but I find I don’t really need it in my life anymore. Once in a while the chance to have an affair comes my way, but it doesn’t tempt me.”
The two have been together so long, hopefully things will work out. You can see photos and video of Nighy in the role that made him famous, Billy Mack, in “Love Actually” below.
