- Alfred Burke The Nanny, 1964. Change of Dr Wills, one of three medicos in the last Hammer film in black and white and headlined by the new grande dame of horror: Bette Davis. As a mentally disturbed children’s nanny. Far but way far from Mary Poppins. When UK director Seth Holt Once told her she wqas over-acting, she snapped: “I act larger than life! That’s what my audience paid me for all these years. If they wanted ordinary reality they’d go out and talk with their grocer!”
