Her career has spanned over 6 decades and she was appointed Commander of the Order Of The British Empire (CBE) in the 2011 New Year Honours List.
I sat and watched the 1979 animated adaptation of The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe with my 6 year old niece recently. This was a film I grew up watching and Sheila is the voice of The White Witch. I'd forgotten how great she sounded in this role and my niece was captivated by the character. Seeing the film again after all these years transported me right back to being a kid. At the end she asked me what the witch looked like in real life. I told her I'd find a photo for her. I thought I'd write to Sheila and ask if she wouldn't mind signing a photo of herself and The White Witch.
The photo of The White Witch are a couple of screen-grabs I took from my favourite scene where she encounters a table full of woodland creatures who are celebrating their visit from Santa. She becomes so enraged, that in an instant, with one foul swoop of her wand, she turns them all to stone.
I sent 4 page LOR, 2 A4 photos and SASE.
