| biography:
| Actress, born in London, UK. She studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, London, before making her stage debut in Le Malade Imaginaire (1938). A woman of distinctive style, her husky tones and feline grace allowed her to be witty and sensual in the portrayal of classical roles and contemporary femmes fatales. Her film credits include the influential and enduring Ealing comedies Whisky Galore (1948), Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), and The Man in the White Suit (1951), as well as Tom Jones (1963) and Little Dorrit (1987). She married actor André Morell in 1960. |
