Kay Walsh, 90, a subtle but expressive actress who starred in some of the finest British films of the 1940s, died April 16 in London. No cause of death was reported.
Walsh, the second of director David Lean's six wives, moved swiftly from the choruses of West End music halls to sizable movie roles. A deft writer, she also contributed lines to a filmed version of George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" (1938) and was so fluid in her style that Shaw thought the script had been entirely faithful to his play.
