"Katie Johnson", born "Bessie Kate Johnson", was an English actress who appeared on stage from 1894 and on screen from the 1930s to the 1950s. In 1908 she married the actor Frank Goodenough Bayly (1873 – 28 November 1923, Newcastle upon Tyne).

She first appeared in a film at age 53, in 1932, but never received critical acclaim for her performances until 1955, when she starred, aged 76, in the Ealing Studios comedy The Ladykillers as Mrs Louisa Wilberforce. The role earned her a British Academy of Film and Television Arts/British Film Academy award for best British actress. She died less than two years afterwards having only appeared in a single further film.

She also appeared in the BBC One/BBC science fiction serial The Quatermass Experiment (1953) and played a spy in I See a Dark Stranger (1946).

I'm used to working with him. I know what to expect. It all transitions together so well, and the music is beautiful.

No need (to be) hybernating, you know.

We can't go back to New Orleans because there's nothing left.

We know we have to keep working harder. We're starting to learn more on what we need to work on.

I think it's a very positive thing. It's a blessing in disguise.

We're just pretty much working on blocking strategies and learning different stuff. We know that as the weeks go on, our tournaments are going to keep getting harder.

It's someone who's going to help us -- me and my family and other people (who are) coming along. It's a blessing that somebody came to rescue us like this here.

It's not me, but it's a good way to end auditions.

I think, I hope, to raise $200.
