What a beautiful old woman Cathleen Nesbitt was..

[@jasonhurd4379]

I loved her as Lady Southwold in the original Upstairs, Downstairs.

[@ryanbrailey-tucker4935]

Her performance in "The haunting of Julia" was AMAZING! She gripped me in her scene in it.

[@Prince-of-Whales666]

Here’s a lady who’s 10 times more attractive in old age than she was when young. What charm, what class. So witty, too 💖 What a grande dame. #oldagegoals

[@sevenwatson5854]

Lady Southwold! Maud! Brilliant

[@davidpar2]

This was right before her performance in The Haunting of Julia, my favorite part of the movie

[@janetcleggnut]

The lovely elderly lady from An Affair to Remember - (Cary Grant's grandmother, Janou), and its beautiful music ..

[@scottsdaleglenn]

Cathleen is just amazing. What a lady! I love watching her in “The Farmer’s Daughter” tv series on You Tube.

If anyone was wondering, the Hitchcock film Nebitt mentions at 14:40 is Family Plot (1976). And it was Hitchcock's last. But I don't think it was hers?

[@mgrainger3805]

Her last movie was "Never Never land" 1980.

She played a heroine addict/thief stole Gene Hackmans watch and she had the needle marks on her right forearm in the French Connection 2. What a career she had spanning 7 decades such class and distinction she brought to the screen and stage and her personal life. Like a commenter said she got better with age like fine wine. When you don't realize who's playing a part that you should know right away is a good indication of a really good actor.

So sad what happened to Rupert Brooke.

[@RoyalFamily89]

I LOVED HER IN THE PARENT TRAP

[@jasonayres]

I can't remember the name of the comedian, but this fella once noted how his grandmother complained about how those punks (from 40 +years ago) would dye their hair all funny colours.. Uncouth!
He then remarked,
This, from my grandma, who aimed to hide her grey hair,
By dying it purple!

[@peteradaniel]

Omg she heard Sarah Bernhardt on the stage!? Damn she must be old!

[@yappydog8m]
