R.I.P. “Lucy Pevensie”
… according to some. Lewis biographer Alan Jacobs isn’t convinced but pays tribute anyway. Lewis devotees will recall the girl who lived at the Kilns during the Second World War. It’s good to hear how she turned out.
Her IMDb page.
Here she acts with Jean Simmons.
Some lives are blessed. Lucy’s (in the Chronicles) was even better. She reigned in Narnia; sailed to that world’s edge; and then, in her prime, was whisked away to Aslan’s country and the new Narnia.

Speaking of how “Narnians” turn out:
A new Blu-ray collection of the BBC’s Narnia has been released some forty years after the series was first broadcast. Included is a documentary, Return to Narnia, featuring the original cast.
I learned this from the tabloids. The sensational bit is that Narnia was filmed next-door to pedophile Jimmy Savile’s studio. (No Narnia actors were harmed.)
The afore-linked piece tells that Downton Abbey’s Lesley Nicol was in this series. For completeness’s sake, here are a few other familiar names:
Tom Baker
Warwick Davis
Camilla Power
(Familiar, that is, if you’re a British-telly glutton.)
So far, a major, new Narnia adaptation has been released every twenty years or so since Lewis’s death.
May each “Narnian,” in time, be brought to Aslan.
