I just had to do a bit of research for my wife on the background to Anthony Forwood, latterly partner of Dirk Bogarde and found out that he was married for four years just after the last war to Glynis Johns, a lady I lusted after in my youth with her sexy husky voice, and daughter of one of my all time favourite actors Mervyn Johns.
AND, she is still alive aged 91!!
She's aged well! I know she was in Mary Poppins and few other things. But if you want a great comedy connection for Glynis Johns, she was in Batman. In the only episodes set outside Gotham City, Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Alfred and Commissioner Gordon (and weirdly the entire Bat Cave) come to England to Londinium. You know, the home of Chuckingham Palace.
Anyway, Johns played one of the villians of the week, Lady Penelope Peasoup (along with her brother Lord Marmaduke Ffogg).
