Margaret Lockwood: Queen of the Silver Screen

More about the book

Margaret Lockwood (1916-1990) was Britain's number one box office star during the war years. A three-time winner of the Daily Mail Film Award, her iconic films The Lady Vanishes, The Man in Grey and The Wicked Lady gained her legions of fans and the nickname Queen of the Screen.With a career spanning fifty years, Margaret reinvented herself from a film star, to an Agatha Christie heroine on the West End, to a television icon in the 1970s series, Justice. Written to coincide with Margaret's centenary, this in-depth biography offers a fresh perspective on an independent woman who was intensely private away from the spotlight and whose life was unlike anything that was reported in the fan magazines.
