Jennifer Berrington started out as a child actress in Cary Grant's penultimate movie, 1964's Father Goose.
She played one of seven schoolgirls in the care of a Frenchwoman, played by Leslie Caron, on a remote island in the South Pacific during the Second World War, who falls for an American - played by Grant - looking for someone else on the island.
Jennifer Berrington remained active as a model and as a commercial actress in her adult years. The picture below is a still from a late-1970s beauty-treatment commercial.
Biographical data on Ms,. Berrington is scant. Two things I was able to learn are that she is British and that her sister Stephanie was in Father Goose with her. I post her picture here because, despite her obscurity, she's too lovely not to be included on this blog. :-)

she was a stunner in father goose and i loved the glasses
I think you'll find that the one with the glasses was her sister Stephanie.
Thanks for the input, Les! :-)
Les is right Stephanie has the glasses on, there isn't a correct picture of Jennifer when she was in Father Goose.
You can probably lift a photo of her from the IMDB website for Father Goose. I'm sure there's a photo or two of her there, at that age... about 10, I think.
You’re thinking of her sister.
I had a huge crush on her in the 1970's and 1980's and loved her modeling work with catalogs and print ads. She was popular with Montgomery Ward and JCPenney and did ads for ConAir, among others. Very beautiful and sensual.
Nope, Jennifer is the older sister with glasses. My wife and I watch this movie quite often.
Nice to see I'm not the only one. I was fond of her when I first saw her in the movie. I wasn't all that much older than her at the time. I've seen no recent photos but someone said she lives quietly in the USA these days. She might have glasses now, but not in her younger days. That was her sister, Stephanie.
I WAS WRONG. My bad. I found an interview with Stephanie talking about the making of Father Goose. Jennifer is the YOUNGER sister.
