Oh, she was great in loads of things. And that voice!

I was literally reading about her last week - was going to add her to my celebrity death list, but someone else got there first. Man, that sounds morbid!

She had an interesting life and a far more varied career than I'd realised. Also I credit her and the Mary Poppins songwriters for educating me about suffragettes at a very young age.

Loved her in Dempsey & Makepeace - one of my first crushes

At least that’s what my first thought was on reading the thread title

Genuine question, is that a joke on the name?
