MarshaKatz Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Correction: In my prior list of narration in movies - Please note that "To Kill A Mockingbird" was narrated by KIM STANLEY and not Mary Badham the young actress who plays "Scout" in the film. I'd like to add "The Age Of Innocence" with Joanne Woodward doing the narration.
