Linden Travers
Biography
Linden Travers was a British actress who began on stage in 1933 at the Newcastle Playhouse and reached the West End a year later with Ivor Novello's Murder in Mayfair. Born in Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, she entered films in 1935 with Children of the Fog. Early leading roles came in The Last Adventurers, Brief Ecstasy and The Terror, though she worked mostly in support. She played Mrs Todhunter in The Lady Vanishes, Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 film, one of the performances for which she was most widely seen. Her other screen work included Carol Reed's Bank Holiday, The Stars Look Down, The Ghost Train (1941), Quartet and The Bad Lord Byron. On stage and screen she took the part of Miss Blandish: a 1942 adaptation at the Prince of Wales Theatre ran for 203 performances, and she repeated the role in the 1948 film No Orchids for Miss Blandish.
