Gittel Enoyce "Binnie" Barnes, later known as Gertrude Maude Barnes (May 25 1903 – July 27 1998) was an English actress.

She born in Islington to a Jewish father and an Italian mother, and was raised Jewish.

She began her acting career in films in 1923 and continued until 1973 (her final role was in the comedy "40 Carats"). Her most famous film was probably "The Private Life of Henry VIII", which starred Charles Laughton in the title role, with Barnes as the unfortunate Katherine Howard.

She was married to film producer Mike Frankovich, for whom she converted to Roman Catholicism and became an American citizen; they adopted three children.

She died peacefully of natural causes at the age of 95 in Beverly Hills, California in 1998, survived by her three children, including production manager Mike Frankovich Jr., and producer Peter Frankovich.
