  Here's a cracking photo of the much loved actress. Who remembers the prison drama Within these Walls?

  The title heading made me realise I had not seen any of her old black and white films for years. I remember watching Within These Walls, Googie was the governor I think.
  
  To be honest I thought she had died several years ago. RIP
