I dare say being Mrs Franovich ensured she got the part of Liv's mother - being married to the producer always helps! Good she lived to be 95.<br /><br />I like Glynis Johns a lot too - she is still with us too at 90. Regarding 40 CARATS sad that Albert and Deborah Raffin both died quite young.

Liv and Edward were fine in the leads but I had sought it out for Binnie Barnes, an actress I've always found enchanting and unique so of course as was the case with Glynis Johns too Hollywood had no idea what niche to create for her. She was worth the wait, I completely enjoyed her performance and it made me regret anew that she had such a limited career. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
