Curiosidades

Cheerful, motherly British character actress who came to films in middle-age, after a stage career that began at George Edwardes' Gaiety Theatre in musical comedy in the 1890's. She played many housekeepers and was notable in the Noël Coward adaptation of 'The Astonished Heart' and as Grandma Huggett in the Huggett trilogy. She was equally effective as an occasional harridan, notably as the bed-ridden dowager Mrs. Winterbourne in Mais Forte que o Amor (1948).
