News surfaces that film director Wendy Toye dies of old age.

British film-maker Wendy Toye, who enjoyed a varied career spanning nearly eight decades, has died aged 92.

Ms Toye initially worked as a dancer and choreographer on both stage and screen before directing films herself.

She first appeared on stage aged three at the Royal Albert Hall, where her solo turn made headlines.

She turned professional in 1929 and made her film debut in 1931, working with the likes of Jean Cocteau and British entertainers, the Crazy Gang.

Six years after her debut at the Royal Albert Hall, she appeared at the Palladium in a ballet she had choreographed herself.

She was soon much in demand, both as a performer and as a choreographer.

She choreographed numerous productions on both sides of the Atlantic including a Broadway production of Peter Pan starring Boris Karloff.

One of her films is shown in the video above.
