You saying that makes me think about myself. My parents are 90, and sometimes I don't let them finish their sentences. I really need to work on patience and show them more love
Patience? Bless him? It’s his job to be competent and professional. I thought he was patronising and belittling. Glynis johns might have been and looked old but it is no reason to treat and portray her as mentally delinquent.
Wow, 100 years, and she seemed like she was still alert! Even witty! lol she “looked good for every age!” And she did! Sad that she has passed, but she made her last appearance, thanks to that reporter! Thank you for “reminding” her how wonderful she was!
Loved her in everything! She went to school with Angela Lansbury. They appeared together in the 'The Court Jester,' and 'Murder She Wrote.' Angela went on to play the elder of the two roles Glynis played in 'A Little Night Music.' Now they are together again, RIP lovely ladies!
I live in Los Angeles. In 2011 or 2012, I went with my boyfriend to see a coworker/friend who was in a convalescent home because he was recovering from a stroke. We spent some time in his room but then I got curious to walk around the place. I came to a room where there was a long table where patients were doing arts and crafts. I sat down and joined the bunch. I remember seeing this lady seated at the end of the table. She looked “familiar.” I kept looking at her not trying to stare. It was driving me crazy that I knew her but didn’t know from where. I heard her speak and recognized her voice. I kept hoping that someone would say her name but it wasn’t happening. I’d just gotten my first Smart Phone so I went on IMDB. I think I looked up While You Were Sleeping. Yup. That was Glynis Johns across the table from me. I had to suppress a gasp when I realized that she was in Mary Poppins! I regret that I didn’t take a picture but I wanted to respect her privacy. ❤ Edit: I just read that she passed away today at the age of 100. She was living in an Assisted Living facility. Rest in Peace 🙏🏻💐
@@jakeornot6306No your opinion is not right because the woman lost the opportunity to meet Glynis Johns and now she can never meet her because she just died at age 100 and 3 months
Wow, I didn't realize she was the endearing grandmother in While You Were Sleeping! What a splendid life and career. Thank you for the great performances you've brought us. May you rest in peace, Glynis!
That song was misandrist trash written by h3t men projecting their own sexism onto women. The Sherman Brothers have written some wonderful songs, but not a single solitary one of them was in that terrible movie.
Awe. So great he took the time to do this. A beautiful interview at 100. I’m very moved by her passing. The film Mary poppins was very meaningful to me. I’m sad she’s left us now.
I’m SO HAPPY that you- ABC7 LA George Pennacchio- made a visit! When I saw your report’s link, I thought it would be a montage with a current photo. But you met and talked!! Happy Birthday indeed! 😀
She and Angela Lansbury were both in *The Court Jester* in 1956. Then, five years later, she made a movie at Warner Brothers with Shelley Winters. I can’t remember the title of it, but I came across the soundtrack album in a used record store some time ago.
After we lost Zsa Zsa Gabor, June Foray, Betty White, Larry Storch, and Bob Barker all at 99 within the past decade, I’m so glad to see someone finally reach 100! Happy 100th birthday, Glynis Johns! 🎉 Mrs. Banks has always been my favorite Mary Poppins character and I loved Lady Penelope Peasoup on Batman as well.
Ms. Johns was a supreme talent in every way. Whatever "IT" was, the spark was undeniable, and it was hers. Stephen Sondheim wrote the song 'Send In The Clowns' FOR HER. Congratulations, Ma'am.
Just rewatched "The Court Jester". She made it sound so simple..."The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace hold's the brew that is true!"😂
HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY, GLYNIS!!!!!!🥳🙌🎂🍰🎈🎉🎁🕯️ You're the longest living Disney legend of all time. In 2 weeks, the Walt Disney Company will celebrate its centennial, aka, the 100th anniversary! I'm so excited and I can't wait to celebrate!
Nice. Happy 100th Birthday to her! Happy Birthday to her! Nice. Happy Birthday to her! Amazing that she’s still alive and still going strong at 100 years old! 😀.
Nice piece, I'm glad someone covered this and she agreed to be interviewed. Only sorry they didn't mention "The Ref" among her 90s work - she's absolutely brilliant in it
She also was in *The Sword in the Rose* in 1952 where she disguised herself as a man to hide from those looking for her. That’s why I’m not impressed with Blake Edwards’ widow pretending to be a man in that overrated movie where Webster’s dad kissed James Rockford.
She was delicious, and the voice couldn't be anyone else. When Dirk Bogarde ran off with her husband, she seemed quite happy about it and everyone remained friends. 'Frankly,' she apparently said, 'I was relived to be rid of him.' She became famous because of 'Mary Poppins' but she was much better in other films. Happy birthday, lovely lady, you stole 'The Sundowners'!! And she was very good in 'The Cabinet of Dr Caligari.' Camp classic Check it out!
You mention the film the sundowners it had a great cast as well as Glynis Mitchum Ustinov Deborah kerr it used to be a regular on TV not seen it in ages a fred zinneman production the old ones are the best
Yet another reason *Bedknobs and Broomsticks* is a better film: Roddy McDowall. I’d rather support my fellow Gay men than the women who tried to marry them. The 25 years since he died have been the worst in Hollywood history. Hell, *Pete’s Dragon* and *Chitty Chitty Bang Bang* were also better. So were Glynis’s other Disney roles. But boomers gonna boom, so they make this stupid offensive bullshit the central focus of a career that deserves better.
I saw her in A Little Night Music on Broadway. She originated the role, and no other actress since has equaled the enchantment she brought to the show.
@jakeornot6306 I love Glynis Johns but the original poster said no other actress has equalled the enchantment she brought to the show and I pointed out that Stephen Sondheim loved Judi Dench's interpretation. What is arrogant or insolent about that? Sondheim actually went a lot further than that about Dench.
What she "deserves" is a blasted Oscar, a Grammy, and a Lifetime Achievement Award, not because she made it to 100 years of age, but for her incredibly versatile, extensive body of work.
She outlived Queen Elizabeth II, Angela Lansbury, Virginia Zeani, Sally Ann Howes, Barbara Windsor, Charmian Carr, and Heather Menzies altogether. In addition, she got to surpass June Foray and Betty White. Let's hope she will still be alive for another few years making it to at least 102+.
I would just as soon forget that wretched movie and its similarly wretched source material when the rest of her career shows she had more range than just that obnoxious misandrist song.
Happy birthday ma’am! You seem to have the zest for life that my grandmother had, God rest her soul! I wish I had that zest for life a couple months short of 38 years old!
God Bless Glynis Johns. She's fantastic. 100 yrs old. I liked her. Lovely lady young and old. Iconic voice and face. Just the best talent left . God Bless you Ms. Johns 🙏 ♥
Bless this reporter for his patience and allowing her to lead in the interview. What a beautiful story!!! Thank you for sharing! Just lovely!

Unfortunately, she's just passed. What a life she lived.
That usually happens after these reports.
So sad
Glynis Johns really did it! She is 100 and strong at heart. God bless her!
She was still witty at 100😁. I love that.
Thanks abc7 for celebrating Glynis John's centenary. It's more than the BBC has done.
Or Turner Classic Movies
I did see a little piece of her being interviewed in i think a care home she was funny and witty
You are so right, the BBC is only interested in itself now.
BBC has gone down the drain.
@@tommoncrieff1154 ....and flushed into the sea!

Rest in peace, Miss Johns. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the world.

That was great! she was a feminist in the harder days for women!
Define “woman.“
I love her and her voice! She seems so fun and feisty at 100, she was so stunning in her youth. I especially love her in The Court Jester.
