And she's essentially retired now, although she is sometimes enticed out for interesting projects or for interviews. The last film she made was Superstar (1999)

I hope not! An interesting lady to work with. Her MIRANDA has stayed in my mind.

Liked her in the SUNDOWNERS with Robert Mitchum and deb. kerr.

I have only seen her once on stage; in the 70s on Broadway in "A Little Night Music" She and Hermione Gingold were superb. Talk about husky voices!



Miranda was a film I had remembered from my childhood, and about three years ago I happened on a rather poor copy, but it did stand up and evoked many Saturday afternoons spent in a stuffy small cinema in Yorkshire.

[Ady]

"From Kensington to Billingsgate, one hears the restless cry,

from every corner of the land, Womankind arise !"



That great voice of hers, husky verging on croaky.



Vaggmk1938 - where abouts in Yorkshire was that stuffy cinema ?

[stevie boy]

I saw her last night in the Card, superb film superb performance and what a voice!!

[Brief Encounter]

Yes I love her in that film



Of course she is best known, I'd say, for her role in Mary Poppins. I wonder how Glynis is these days?

Mainly retired, she is 84 after all. But still occasionally works on projects that interest her. She appeared as a grandmother in Superstar (1999) and was on stage in London in 2002.



I think she mainly lives in Australia now.

I saw this when I was 11 and it became my favorite show. It still is...and I'm 45 now. Ms. Johns was brilliant, and I'll never forget her it in.
