I do remember her from "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir," too, but I had to look at her filmography to jog my memory. It seems too that she was married to Herbert Marshall, who figured in my post today. It is funny how often bloggers get on the same wavelength!
Yes it is funny, how things pop up, I just posted on Oleg Cassini and I'd never heard of him until 2 days ago and today I read he has passed away.
I have, I believe years ago seen "The Ghost and Mrs Muir", I think I will revist that.
