Eva Henderson Mottley (24 October 1953 – 14 February 1985) was a British actress, best known for her role as Bella O'Reilly in the acclaimed television drama Widows.
Mottley left the production of Widows 2 due to disagreements with the production team. On 14 February 1985, while at home in London, she was found dead from a drug overdose, which was ruled suicide. Widows 2 was broadcast nearly two months later, with Debby Bishop in the role of Bella. Mottley and Bishop had both been cast members of the film Scrubbers.
She had made other TV appearances, including a memorable guest role on the sitcom Only Fools and Horses, in the episode "Who's a Pretty Boy? as Corinne, the sharp-tongued wife of regular character Denzil. The character was originally set to appear in more episodes, but due to Mottley's death, John Sullivan chose not to recast the role out of respect to Mottley. Her character, Corinne, later separated from Denzil.
