i rather remember her in "tunes of glory", so pretty as sir alec guinness's daughter. i was in the army when this played. we all chuckled at some of the brit army situations, paralleling our own. but we all loved susannah. also, so effective as st. thomas more's daughter in "man for all seasons", a little more mature, and certainly beautiful. God bless her

I first saw Ms York as "Sophie " in Tony Richardson's TOM JONES, she embodied youth, beauty and charm. I have always enjoyed her work and admired her talent. I was sadden to hear of her passing. My sympathies to her family and friends
