Diminutive British character actress with plaintive face (and voice to match) and tight, dark, curly hair. Seen as cockney girlfriends and maids through the thirties, she developed into a popular supporting player, then, with Holiday Camp (1947) unexpectedly became a major star of the British cinema for ten years. Extended her star run with a hit TV series in the sixties called Mrs. Thursday. One of very few actors to pass their 100th birthday.
