Elspeth March

Elspeth March

Elspeth March (5 March 1911–5 May 1999) was an English actress.

She was born as Elspeth Mackenzie in London, England, the daughter of Harry Malcolm and Elfreda Mackenzie. She led a long stage, film and television career as a respected character actress, making her professional debut in "Jonah and the Whale" at London's Westminster Theatre in 1932. Good looking and talented, she was regarded with real potential, when she met and married the actor Stewart Granger in 1938. As his film career blossomed, the marriage faltered and the couple divorced in 1948. They had two daughters Jamie and Lindsey.

She resumed her career in 1944 and she continued to play strong supporting roles in plays, films and television into her eighties. She appeared with the National Theatre in 1977, playing roles in "The Madras House" and "Don Juan Comes Back from the War".
