Actress Googie Withers has died

*Actress Googie Withers, best known for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's
_The Lady Vanishes_, has died aged 94.*

Googie (born Georgette Lizette Withers) died in her home in Australia
on Friday.

She was born in British India in 1917, and she took up acting at 12
years old, when her family returned to England.

She worked on a huge number of British films throughout the '30s and
'40s, including _The Lady Vanishes_, Powell and Pressburger's _One Of
Our Aircraft_ _Is Missing_ and Ealing Studios' portmanteau spooker
_Dead Of Night_.

Withers met her husband, Australian actor John McCallum, on the set of
_The Loves Of Joanna Godden_ in 1947, and they were married the next
year.

The pair starred in nine more films together, as well as a number of
plays. McCallum, who is remembered for co-creating Skippy The Bush
Kangaroo, died last year, aged 91.

Withers final film performance was in _Shine_ in 1996. Our thoughts
and sympathies go out to her family and friends.
