RIP Kathleen Byron

She maybe a name not known to many today but her passing is worthy of note . Her performance in Black Narcissus on its own is notable for its sensuality, at a time when the Americans thought Doris Day was racy!

I'm no good at posting links but go to the independent newspaper
website and look under their obits. There is a fantastic photo of
her playing Ruth in this film taken from 1947. Looks as good as any
shot taken now of any glamour model/film actress

You into 'nutty birds' ATS ? I thought the pic from the Telegraph obit was much better.

[JonnyHungwell]

Oh no, not Charlie Drake !thumbsdown!

Lol.. no nutters for me thanks

She looks good in both photos. Just thought that in the telegraph one
t looked like and old style photo. In the indie photo it appears a very
modern style of shot. Certainly doesn't look 60 years old in my opinion
