Sad to read that Glynis Johns has died at age of 100.

Glynis Johns was the daughter of actor Mervyn Johns. Best known for her light comedy roles and often playful flirtation, Glynis was born in South Africa while her parents were on tour there (her mother was a concert pianist) but was always proud of her Welsh roots and took delight in playing the female lead (opposite Richard Burton) in the classic Under Milk Wood. Glynis is probably best known for her role as the suffragette mother in Mary Poppins although she is probably best loved for her fishy roles in Miranda.

One of my favourite parts she played was in Vault Of Horror where she played the part of Terry Thomas wife.

The Magic Box, The Card and Mary Poppins are the only titles I can think of released on super 8








I still love the smell of film in the morning
