Janet Munro

Janet Munro (born Janet Neilson Horsburgh; 28 September 1934 – 6 December 1972) was a British actress. She won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in the film ''Darby O'Gill and the Little People'' (1959) and received a BAFTA Film Award nomination for her performance in the film ''Life for Ruth'' (1962).

Munro starred in three Disney films: ''Darby O'Gill and the Little People'' (1959), ''Third Man on the Mountain'' (1959), and ''Swiss Family Robinson'' (1960). Her other film credits were roles in ''The Trollenberg Terror'' (1958) and ''The Day the Earth Caught Fire'' (1961).

Munro married the actor Tony Wright, and then the actor Ian Hendry. She died of a heart attack at age 38. She was described as having "one of the most haunting, magical cinematic presences in the late 1950s and early 1960s… and one of the saddest personal stories." Provided by Wikipedia
