Glynis Johns

Performer

However, all these paled beside her two big credits, one in the 1960s and one in the 1970s. In 1964, she played Winifred Banks, the mother of Jane and Michael Banks, who is so absorbed in the suffragist movement that she sometimes loses track of her children. She sang the Sherman Brothers’ anthem “Sister Suffragette.”
