Legendary British Actress. One of Britain’s biggest female stars of the post war years, she appeared in a number of hugely popular wartime dramas including Madonna of the Seven Moons (1944) and The Wicked Lady (1945). She also made one film in Hollywood, the western Canyon Passage (1946) with Susan Hayward and Ronald Reagan. Her best performances were in The Brothers (1947) as a sexy orphan wreaking havoc on a remote Scottish Island, and When the Bough Breaks (1947), a stark unwed mother drama. She moved to Paris upon her second marriage in 1949 and began to work increasingly in European cinema filming in France and Italy (and a French-Canadian feature in Quebec). She returned to England in the late fifties making three more films and a few TV appearances before retiring in 1963. She appeared on the first episode of the TV series "The Saint" with Roger Moore.
