Judith Furse
Biography
Judith Furse was an English actress who studied theater at the Old Vic during the early 1930s and had become a stage performer by the close of that decade. Born in Camberley in 1912, she went to St Paul's Girls' School before turning to the stage. One of her earliest screen parts was Sister Briony in Black Narcissus (1947). Her heavy-set, somewhat masculine appearance often brought her overbearing characters, among them the villainous Doctor Crow in Carry On Spying (1964). Other films included Blue Murder at St Trinian's (1957), Carry On Regardless (1961), and Carry On Cabby (1963). A gentler role came as Flora, Greer Garson's concerned traveling companion, in Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939). Her final screen role was a drag king in the Australian film The Adventures of Barry McKenzie (1972). In 1958 she played Aunt Agatha on Caedmon Audio recordings of Indian Summer of an Uncle and Jeeves Takes Charge, which came out in stereo in 1964.
