Lockwood, Margaret

▪ British actress
in full  Margaret Mary Lockwood 
born Sept. 15, 1916, Karachi, India [now Pak.]
died July 15, 1990, London, Eng.
 British actress noted for her versatility and craftsmanship, who became Britain's most popular leading lady in the late 1940s.

 Lockwood studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, England's leading drama school, and made her film debut in Lorna Doone (1935). A vivacious brunette with a beauty spot on her left cheek, she starred in a wide variety of films, notably the wartime thriller Night Train to Munich (1940), the romantic comedy Quiet Wedding (1941), as the husband-stealing murderess in the period melodrama The Man in Grey (1943), Trent's Last Case (1952), Cast a Dark Shadow (1955), and as Cinderella's stepmother in The Slipper and the Rose (1976). Her most popular roles were as the spunky heroine of Alfred Hitchcock's mystery The Lady Vanishes (1938) and as the voluptuous highwaywoman in the costume drama The Wicked Lady (1945).

      Lockwood's stage appearances included Peter Pan (1949–51, 1957–58), Spider's Web (1954–56), which Agatha Christie wrote for her, and Signpost to Murder (1962–63). In the 1960s and '70s she appeared on British television, including a 1965 series The Flying Swan with her daughter Julia. She was made Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1980.
