Birthday:

10 February 1926, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England, UK

Born in Birmingham, England, Hazel Court carried on a love affair with the world of movies and make-believe that made her a leading student at her hometown's School of Drama and later helped her land a contract with the J. Arthur Rank Organisation. Graduating from bits to supporting roles to leads, Court worked in English films from the mid-'40s until the early 1960s, when she relocated to Hollywood. The flame-haired Court was married to Irish actor Dermot Walsh before she married American actor-director Don Taylor. Show less «

Just in case I should pop off to heaven in the night, I always remember to wash up, punch up the cushions and straighten up after a dinner party. I wouldn't want everyone to come in and find it a mess. It's very English of me. Show less «

I always thought [Edgar Allan Poe's] work were wonderful, and I loved Gothic tales--so I guess I was a natural for those films-to-come . . . I used to stand in line with my parents at the local theater. Show less «

[on The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959)] The producers just said, WWe would like you to do this scene, where Anton Diffring is sculpting you, and we would like to make it a nude scene. Would you do it?" It would only be shown in the European version, not in England. It really was just a lovely scene with him sculpting me, and I had no objection to that. But that nude scene is in the European version--out there, somewhere! Show less «

[about her roles in the early 1950s] It's very funny. In those days we did it all as a job. it was our job to go out and do the very bet we could. We'd take each film as it came, analyze it, work on it, and do it. Never any tantrums . . . You enjoyed doing it, and you didn't ever think of yourself as special. We were all just actors, together; we were glad of a job, and we did it. Show less «
