| Biography (TMDB): | Glynis Johns (October 5, 1923 - January 4, 2024) was a South African-born British actress, dancer, musician and singer. Born in Pretoria, South Africa, while her parents were on tour, she is best known for originating the role of Desiree Armfeldt in A Little Night Music on Broadway, for which she won a Tony Award, and for playing Winifred Banks in Walt Disney's musical motion picture Mary Poppins. In 2020, with the death of Olivia de Havilland, Johns became the oldest living Academy Award-nominee in any acting category. In both roles, Johns sang songs written specifically for her, including "Send in the Clowns", composed by Stephen Sondheim, and "Sister Suffragette", written by the Sherman Brothers. Johns was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in the 1960 film The Sundowners. She was one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood and class years of British cinema. She is known for the breathy quality of her husky voice and her upbeat persona.

Miranda

smokingsides
Withers smokes in six scenes, with three lightings. She taps both ends of her cigarette on her hand before accepting a light and performs talk and nostril exhales. Her smoke is all the more striking since the film is in black-and-white. Glynis, as the mermaid, tries a cigarette, but coughs violently after lighting it, deciding that smoking is horrible. |

Grandi smokes unfiltered in several scenes, including an extended scene while she's in bed watching a guy undress. Also lights up in the doorway of the church immediately after her wedding! Lots of drags and French inhales, a few nicely visible exhales. But the best shot of the film involves a beautiful extra in a scene at a decadent party, who drags and, in profile, directs a long, perfectly lit combo exhale at a couple making out on the couch next to her. |

smokes in a dozen scenes. Maybe her best yet! The director must be into smoke fetish. |
Perfect Strangers
|
smokingsides
(57:00) Jurors are visiting the crime scene. Ginger takes a man aside, saying he needs a little campaigning. When they sit together on a bench, she says, "I'd rather have a cigarette." She takes one from his gold case, taps twice, accepts a light, nice puckered exhale - all the while wearing nice white gloves. |

Smokes in 4 scenes early on in the movie. First has an inhale with an invisible exhale. 2nd scene at a bar has 1 inhale, 2 lightups and an exhale. 3rd scene in long shot outside with a couple drags. Last scene has a lightup and exhale. In a deleted scene, the bar scenes are repeated, but there is an additional inhale/exhale and the 2nd lightup is shown at a different angle, letting you catch a nice profile exhale. |
State Secret

A non-filter hangs unlit from the corner of her mouth as she speaks. She lights and drags, but you'll have to be quick to catch it. |
The Weak And The Wicked
|
smokingsides
Glynis and Diana light up together, so too do Glynis and Ursula - but do any of them inhale? Diana breaks a cigarette in two when they're in prison. Glynis scoops up the dog-ends from an ashtray in a restaurant. |
