Paying tribute to Sheridan, filmmaker Michael Dunaway said his ‘soulmate’ had experienced ‘dark moments over the last few years’.

Dunaway wrote on Instagram: ‘She called me Big Brother, and for all intents and purposes I was. I met Lisa when she was fourteen years old, over thirty years ago. We were immediately attached at the hip, true soulmates from minute one.
‘For the rest of the days of her life, she was a central part of mine. She was beautiful, obviously, and an immensely talented actor, and a wonderful friend, but more than anything she really did radiate this impossibly bright energy and life.
‘Even in her dark moments. And she had plenty of those, especially over the last few years. I’m trying to take comfort in knowing your struggles and pain and grief are at last, and last behind you.’
