Biography

Estelle Winwood was an English actress whose career ran from the West End stage to American film and television. Born in Kent and trained at the Lyric Stage Academy in London, she made her professional debut in Johannesburg at 20, joined the Liverpool Repertory Company during the First World War and later worked in London's West End. She moved to the United States in 1916 for her Broadway debut and spent years dividing her time between New York and London, acting in plays and directing The Importance of Being Earnest in 1939. After resisting film offers in the 1920s, she made her official screen debut in The House of Trent in 1933 and had her first role of note in Quality Street (1937). Later films included The Swan (1956), The Misfits (1961), Camelot (1967) and, at 92, Murder by Death (1976). She kept working until she was 100 and died in 1984.
