I've seen Black Narcissus, From Here to Eternity and The King and I, on television. I expect a few will be shown again now she's died.

She died some time ago - 12 years. Today was the anniversary of her birth. She had a great career and it seems to me worth looking back it. For someone generally seen as the English rose type, there is an earthiness that is often missed.
