#Farewell Glynis 🤍🕊

[kenneth-williams-diaries]

“As far as I’m concerned, I’m not interested in playing the role on only one level. The whole point of first-class acting is to make a reality of it. To be real. And I have to make sense of it in my own mind in order to be real.”

“I would sooner play in a good British picture than in the majority of American pictures I have seen.”

GLYNIS JOHNS

5 October 1923 - 4 January 2024

... may she rest in peace ✨️🕊

Ken's diary entry on 29 September 1953:

"Peter Eade rang to say I'd got the film part!!! Wishart!!! The leads are Jack Hawkins and Glynis Johns. It seems fantastic. But I know that it is part of the pattern. I am destined to be a good actor."
