She was educated at St Paul's Girls' School and studied theatre at the Old Vic in the early 1930s. By the end of the 1930s she became a stage actress. One of Judith Furse's earliest film successes was as Sister Briony in Black Narcissus (1947). She was known for her heavy-set, somewhat masculine looks, and was often cast as overbearing types such as the villainous Doctor Crow in Carry On Spying (1964). Other films included The Man in the White Suit (1951), The Heart of the Matter (1953) and Blue Murder at St. Trinian's (1957). One of her more sympathetic roles was as Flora, Greer Garson's concerned traveling companion, in the original Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939). In 1972 she made her last film appearance in The Adventures of Barry Mackenzie.
