Gotta admit I don't remember the character on Batman. Have seen the movie dozens of times. Great entertainment for all ages. RIP

She was great in Vacation From Marriage and The Sundowners. RIP.

Her late father, Mervyn Johns, would be recognizable to many here as Bob Cratchit from the 1951 version of "A Christmas Carol," the one with Alastair Sim.

It has been said that a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down. But I think I'd choke on it.

His name was Mervyn ?

It was indeed.

It was indeed.

Just wondering, why is that a surprise?

But a glass of well aged single malt scotch helps..........well, a lot of things!
