Biography
Margot Grahame was an English actress who built a stage career in South Africa before becoming a film player in Britain and Hollywood. Born in Canterbury in 1911, she moved with her family to South Africa at age three and began acting in Pretoria with Dennis Neilson-Terry at fourteen, after leaving school. Her London stage debut came in 1927 as an understudy in The Terror, and her screen debut followed in Rookery Nook in 1930. During the early 1930s she had taken 42 major roles in British movies in only three years, drawing Hollywood interest and a long-term RKO contract. She was best known for John Ford's The Informer (1935), as Gypo Nolan's girlfriend, and The Three Musketeers (1935) as Milady de Winter. Later credits included The Fabulous Joe (1947), The Crimson Pirate (1952), The Beggar's Opera (1953), Orders Are Orders (1954), Saint Joan (1957), and The Sweater, a 1958 Charlie Chan television episode. She died in 1982.
