Probably a case of “I’m surprised she was still alive” for a lot of us, but the British actress Googie Withers has passed away.

She was in a number of old UK films, such as Hitchcock’s “The Lady Vanishes”.

She was very elegant in “Miranda” with Glynis Johns (the mermaid movie)…and I also liked her very much in “It Always Rains On Sundays” - where she was very much _not_ elegant.

I liked her look.
