Madeleine Carroll

Perhaps the most beautiful of Britain's exports to Hollywood, Carroll began her career in England in 1928 and was signed to a 20th Century Fox contract in 1936. She is best remembered as Hitchock's prototypical frosty blonde handcuffed to Robert Donat in "The 39 Steps" (1935) and as John Gielgud's co-spy in "The Secret Agent" (1936). Other smooth, aristocratic performances followed, including "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1937), perfectly matched with Ronald Colman, and kidding her image as "My Favorite Blonde" (1942). Carroll distinguished herself working with the Red Cross during WWII and later did a notable amount of stage work.
