Glynis Johns, known best 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 60 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 in a statement her death was a “sombre day for Hollywood”.
Johns starred opposite Dame Julie Andrews in the classic 1964 Disney musical Mary Poppins, which went on to win five Oscars.
Her manager of 25 years 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.
The actress is survived by her grandson Thomas Forwood, who is based in Paris, and her three great-grandchildren.
She will be buried next to her father, actor Mervyn Johns, in the UK.
