Glynis Johns, widely known for her role as suffragette mother Winifred Banks in Mary Poppins, has died at the age of 100.
The British actress, whose career spanned more than sixty years, died in Los Angeles on Thursday, her manager confirmed.
She appeared in dozens of films and was also an accomplished theatre performer.
Her manager Mitch Clem said her death was a “sombre day for Hollywood”.
Johns starred opposite Dame Julie Andrews in the classic 1964 Disney musical Mary Poppins.
She also won a Tony Award in 1973 for playing Desiree Armfeldt in Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway musical A Little Night Music, in which she sang “Send In The Clowns”.
In a statement Mr Clem said her “light shined very brightly for 100 years”.
“Glynis powered her way through life with intelligence, wit, and a love for performance, affecting millions of lives,” he said paying tribute.
“Today is a sombre day for Hollywood. Not only do we mourn the passing of our dear Glynis, but we mourn the end of the golden age of Hollywood.”
