Where the Mary Poppins stars are now as film has its age rating lifted from U to PG due to 'discriminatory language'


As Mary Poppins has its age rating lifted from U to PG, MailOnline takes a look at what happened to the cast of Mary Poppins.

Its reclassification is due to the use of the word Hottentots - the dated term was historically used by Europeans to refer to the Khoekhoe, a group of nomadic herders in South Africa, but is now regarded as racially offensive, and the decision was made by the BBFC who say they help families 'choose well' by giving guidance on what’s right for them and 'what’s not'. The actress featured in many famous films, including Hostile Hostages, Miranda and The Court Jester (pictured clockwise from top left: David Tomlinson, Glynis Johns, Matthew Garber, Karen Dotrice in Mary Poppins) The talented performer gained a reputation throughout her lengthy career for being a perfectionist, and prided herself on always opting for multi-faceted roles (seen as Winifred Banks in the classic 1964 Disney musical film Mary Poppins)
