6 Best Hermione Baddeley Movies

By Vlad Zakh · July 10, 2026

Hermione Baddeley brought vivacious, scene-stealing energy to British and Hollywood cinema across six decades and earned an Oscar nomination along the way. Room at the Top is that nominated role, ambition leading a young man into a destructive triangle. Mary Poppins and The Aristocats are the family favourites, Scrooge visits a miser with three spirits, and Passport to Pimlico and Brighton Rock round out the list.
