Once they
told Elizabeth Allan that she “would not photograph.” That was only a year or
two ago, when she was a small-part stage actress earning £ 6 a week.
When she went
to Hollywood, early in 1933, her luggage included a £ 12,000-a-year contract
from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, one of America’s biggest studios.
“Betty,” as
she is known to her friends, was born in Skegness on April 9, 1910, and was
educated at Darlington. She made her stage debut at the Old Vic, when she was
seventeen, and she afterwards went on tour in stock companies with Ben Greet.
She made her
first bow to the West End in Michael and Mary, in the part which she
subsequently played in the film version. It was not until 1931 that she stepped
before the film cameras, making her debut in Alibi.
After Service for Ladies she was hailed as one
of the most important discoveries for years. Her other British film successes
include : The Rosary, Black Coffee, Nine Till Six, and The Lodger.
Her first
Hollywood film was Service, [Looking Forward 1933 drama film, film
based on the 1932 Dodie Smith play Service]
with Lionel Barrymore.
