RIP GLYNIS JOHNS
1923-2024
Tumblr media
Johns is probably best remembered for playing Winifred Banks in Disney's Mary Poppins (1964). Although it was a mainstream hit for Judy Collins, Johns introduced the song "Send in the Clowns" in the Broadway musical A Little Night Music (1974) for which she won a Tony Award.
Tumblr media
On August 5, 1963, CBS' "Vacation Playhouse" aired an episode titled "Hide and Seek," which was the pilot for "Glynis", a sitcom starring Johns and Keith Andes, who played the male lead in Lucille Ball's 1960 Broadway musical Wildcat and would go on to appear on "The Lucy Show." The series' working title was "The Glynis Johns Show", but eventually it was shortened to the star's first name. The series was produced by Desilu and created and executive produced by Jess Oppenheimer, one of the original creators of "I Love Lucy". A month later "Glynis" earned a spot on CBS' fall schedule, but only lasted 13 episodes.

Johns was nominated for an Oscar in 1961 for The Sundowners. She worked with a lot of the same stars as Lucille Ball, although the two never acted together. She was in The Court Jester (1955) with Danny Kaye, Papa's Delicate Condition (1963) with Jackie Gleason, and Mary Poppins (1964) with Dick Van Dyke. Like so many of Ball's colleagues, she played a villain on "Batman": Penelope Peasoup in 1967.
Tumblr media
She was 'born in a trunk' to theatrical parents touring in South Africa, but raised in Wales. She was 100 years old. From four marriages she had one child whom she outlived by 15 years.

Send in the Clowns - Glynis Johns (BBC Documentary Footage)
The great Glynis Johns, the original Desiree Armfeldt in Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece, A Little Night Music, performs “Send in the Clowns.”  For her role as Desiree Armfeldt, she won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical.
She turns 100 years old today, October 5, 2023.
Glynis Margaret Payne Johns (born 5 October 1923) is a British retired actress, dancer, musician and singer. Recognized as an icon of screen and stage, Johns has a career spanning eight decades, in which she appeared in more than 60 films and 30 plays. She is the recipient of awards and nominations in various drama award denominations, including the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, the Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, the Laurel Awards, the Tony Awards, the Drama Desk Awards and the Laurence Olivier Awards, within which she has won two thirds of her nominations.
She is more familiar to many as Winifred Banks, the wife of George Banks, mother of Jane and Michael, and member of Emmeline Pankhurst's "Votes for Women" suffrage movement, to which she is completely dedicated, in Mary Poppins (1964), considered to be Walt Disney's crowning live-action film achievement.
