==Disney films==
Munro's big break came in March 1958 when she was cast as Katie O'Gill in Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959). Walt Disney immediately used her again as Lizbeth Hempel in Third Man on the Mountain (1959) opposite James MacArthur. She returned to England to play Tommy Steele's love interest in Tommy the Toreador (1959), then made a third film for Disney: Swiss Family Robinson (1960), again romancing MacArthur. She was going to be in Bon Voyage! with Karl Malden, but it was not made for another few years, with Deborah Walley in the role instead. She also appeared in The Horsemasters (1961), shot in England for American television, and released theatrically in some markets.
==Death==
Munro died on December 6, 1972 on her way to the hospital after collapsing at her London home in Tufnell Park. Her death was ruled due to a heart attack caused by chronic ischemic heart disease. She was 38 years old. She was cremated and interred at the Golders Green Crematorium.
