She was always a bright spot in just about anything she was in. I really liked her in The Court Jester with Danny Kaye.

As tacky a film as it is, one of the main things I remember her from is Vault Of Horror, where her Disney past made her brutally murdering her abusive husband quite a shocker. She played the role really well. But then, when Stephen Sondheim can write a song specifically based around your strengths as a performer and you get a Tony from it, that's how you know how talented you really are.

Yeah, I actually have that film on dvd. I remember, the husband is extremely OCD and drives her to the point of killing him and categorizing his body parts into jars. |

At least she was able to live a long full life.

Aside from Mary Poppins and Vault of Horror, I remember her as Mary Katherine Gallagher's grandmother in Superstar, clearly having the best line in that flop:
Mary: I think they get the point, Grandma.
Grandma: Wait, I've got two more. When I say tap, you tap. When I say booga booga, you booga booga.
Maria Ganitsis: What's booga booga?
Grandma: I don't know, but when I say it, you better f***in' figure it out!
