Dame Anna Neagle (1904 - 1986) was born in Forest Gate as Florence Marjorie Robertson but moved to Glasgow as a child. She appeared in many films between 1930 and 1958 and also in West End Theatres. I believe her internment took place at the City of London Cemetery.

Thank you Doug for that information.

I remember only too well what a wonderful Actress she was and what a lot of pleasure she gave
us at the Cinemas.
No idea she came from our part of the world and that she was interned in CofLC.
Am right in saying she married Alfred Hitchcock? and they spent many happy years to-gether,
although another partner is creeping in my mind who she made her dancing films with? he was a real
ladies man at the time?Huh

Now you have started me off down memory lane once more.

Thank you,
Louise

Louise

From information I have read Dame Anna Neagle married Herbert Wilcox who directed most of her films in 1943.
