If you are a fan of Alfred Hitchock, British cinema, or both, chances are very good that you have heard of Margaret Lockwood. She may be best known in Canada and the United States as the star of Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (1938). In the United Kingdom she was the top British star of the Forties. When adjusted for inflation, Miss Lockwood's film The Wicked Lady (1946) still ranks among the highest grossing films in the United Kingdom.
Although she may not be as well known as some of the Hollywood stars of the Forties and Fifties, Margaret Lockwood maintains a following to this day. Indeed, if you are a fan of Margaret Lockwood and you have a Facebook account, there is the Margaret Lockwood Society there. The Margaret Lockwood Society page not only has a wealth of photos, but also links and notes related to her as well.
