British actress Glynis Johns, who was best known for her role as Winifred Banks in `Mary Poppins,` died on Thursday at the age of 100, as reported by Variety. Johns`s manager, Mitch Clem, highlighted that Johns died at an assisted living home in Los Angeles. Moreover, her publicist said that she died of natural causes, as reported by ABC News.

Johns made her film debut in 1938 when she was a teen, but she didn`t break through until 10 years later when she played a mermaid in `Miranda.` She had been an actor in England for over 20 years when she was cast in Disney`s adaptation of P.L. Travers` "Mary Poppins" novels. Appearing in more than 60 films, Johns also earned an Oscar nomination for "While You Were Sleeping" and "The Sundowners," according to Variety. "Glynis powered her way through life with intelligence, wit, and a love for performance, affecting millions of lives," Clem said in a statement.
