Margaret Lockwood was born in Karachi in 1916 and came to England as a young girl. At RADA, her looks and talent were spotted and she began appearing in films, most notably the Hitchcock classic ‘The Lady Vanishes’ of 1938.
Her best known British films were the wartime period escapism of the Gainsborough melodramas. ‘The Man in Grey’ had James Mason as the shady hero - and ‘The Wicked Lady’ saw Lockwood enjoying herself as a bored aristocratic who moonlights as a highwaywoman.
Outgrowing such roles, she became a character actress in film and on TV - dying in 1990.

How to oil your wood flooring
After floor sanding, you'll need to decide on the finish for your wooden floor. While a high gloss varnish can look very contemporary and is extremely hardwearing and resistant to damage, devotees of oiled floors like the rich patina and the fact that any damage is much easier to repair with floor sanding. If you prefer the antique finish of floor refinishing with oil, here's how to achieve the look.
It's all in the preparation
If you want to replace a high lacquer look with oiled floorboards then you'll need to sand away the old finish,
using professional dust free sanding equipment and working methodically through the different grits for the best
result. If you're uncertain about achieving a high standard of finish, then use a professional sanding company for
the job.
Next, you'll need to use a technique called water popping to reopen the grain of the wood and allow the oil to
penetrate. This can be done by pouring water on the floor and mopping, using a spray bottle or washing the floor
with a damp cloth. Now your wood floor is ready for refinishing with oil.
Applying oil the professional way
First thoroughly mix your chosen oil so it's absolutely smooth, then set aside for a few minutes to allow the bubbles to settle.
Once the oil is ready to be applied, you can opt for either a hard bristle brush or a microfibre roller to start spreading the oil smoothly and evenly across the floor. Start by spreading the oil into the corners of the room then working methodically towards the exit,
feathering the oil as you go so there are no visible brush marks. You'll need to apply two coats in all,
allowing at least 12 hours drying time between each coat. Buff if required and wipe away any excess oil with a soft cloth.
Low maintenance
An oiled floor is generally low maintenance and should be kept clean with a damp cloth and a regular vacuum.
Be aware that foot traffic and cleaning will both wick away some of the protective oil,
so reapply a coat of all at least every two to three years, or sooner if your floor looks like it needs refinishing.
