Who? Well if you've seen The Lady Vanishes and it's cousin Night Train to Munich you certainly have seen her. She was one of the most well payed actresses of Britain for awhile.
Margaret Lockwood (1916–1990)
Since she was contracted by Gaumont British she was forced by contract to appear in a few American movies at 20th Century Fox and did so with one with Shirley Temple, Fox loaned her for a few Paramount movies, but nothing happened.
She then return to Britain and became on of their biggest female stars of the 1940's, and at her most popular made an astonishing 25.000 UK Pounds per movie plus rentals.
The Lady Vanishes 1938, the one most everyone knows.
A Girl Must Live 1939, a musical by Carol Reed
Margaret Lockwood and Randolph Scott in Susanah of the Mountain 1939, well it happened, and the girl is Shirley Temple.
Paramount poked some interest in contracting her.
Back on track with Night Train to Munich 1940
With James Mason she did popular movies like The Man in Gray 1943 and The Wicked Lady 1945
While the 1940's was when she filled her purse, by the 1950's came around something new came around called television.
She had a theatrical background so difficulty there.
She continued to act in movies occasionally until 1955
Cast a Dark Shadow 1955, as the one Dirk Bogarde's character couldn't fool on his way to get rich.
Between 1971 and 1974 she played a Lady Barrister on Yorkshire/ITV series called Justice.
Lockwood's belated screen farewell came many years later as the evil stepmother in the Cinderella story called The Slipper and the Rose 1976
She retired from acting in 1980.
Thanks for watching!
Opinions of all kinds are welcome
