She made a lot of movies in her career, especially in the 1940s and 1950s. She was still going strong throughout the 1960s. She had a unique, almost beguiling face; not beautiful, but alluring.

She outlived Walt by 57 years.

Mary Poppins was one of the best movies.

I remember her from the 1953 Disney movie "The Sword and the Rose." She played Princess Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII, opposite Richard Todd who played Charles Brandon.

The synopsis of the film is: During the reign of Henry VIII, Mary Tudor seeks to flee a forced marriage with the French king by escaping to America with her true love, but her plans are not so easily executed.

As for history, Mary Tudor was forced to marry the much older King of France, Louis XII. Fortunately for Mary, Louis died three months later, and she was allowed to come back to England. When she agreed to marry Louis XII, she made her brother promise her that when she married the second time, she would be able to marry who she chose. Of course Henry wasn't going to let that promise stand in his way of giving his sister away to someone of his choosing. Henry was aware of the feelings between Brandon and his sister. When he sent Brandon to fetch Mary in France, Henry made him promise he wouldn't propose to Mary. Mary talked Brandon into breaking his promise to Henry, and the couple married, without Henry's approval before heading back to England. This move was considered treason. The Privy Council proclaimed Brandon should be arrested and executed. Instead, the couple was heavily fined and banished from court for some time, but eventually got back into the good graces of the King.

May she rest in peace. I remember reading that the song "Bring in the Clowns" was written to accommodate her voice in the original cast of A Little Night Music. Very breathy ... and sexy. And those wonderful English feline eyes.

Who can forget her role in “The Cabinet of Caligari”.

Skin and more skin. You see here, there is nothing that seems as it seems.
