    Veteran British actor Paul Scofield has died of leukemia, aged 86.

    He passed away peacefully in hospital near his Sussex home yesterday, his agent confirmed.

    She told Reuters: "He had leukemia and had not been well for some time."

    Scofield won a Best Actor Oscar in 1967 for his turn as Sir Thomas More in Man for All Seasons. He was also nominated for Robert Redford-directed movie Quiz Show in 1995.

    Although he appeared in more than 30 films, he spent most of his career on the stage and was a leading member of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

    He was made a companion of honour in 2001 but rejected three attempts to give him a knighthood.
