One of the very last surviving major stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood and classical years of British cinema has departed up the glitering staircase to Fabulon...
[as Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins] "We're clearly soldiers in petticoats, and dauntless crusaders for women to vote! Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid."
[as Desiree Armfeldt in A Little Night Music] "Send in the clowns."
“As far as I’m concerned, I’m not interested in playing the role on only one level. The whole point of first-class acting is to make a reality of it. To be real. And I have to make sense of it in my own mind in order to be real."
"I think we've got to remember to grab onto our perks, whatever is the good thing about each age. Each stage of life should be a progression."
RIP, Miss Glynis Johns (5th October 1923 – 4th January 2024)
Read my tribute to the great lady on her centenary last year.
Send in the clowns . . . don't bother, they're here.

ReplyDeleteJ'adore dans le rôle de Miranda et de sa queue de sirène de Dunlop,
et que "Send in the Clowns" a été écrit pour elle. :)
Glynis Johns, une autre grande actrice du beau firmament et de tradition théâtrale de Grande-Bretagne.
