Yet another underrated performer from the Golden Age of British films was Scottish-born character actress Jean Cadell. Jean commenced her professional stage career in 1906 with "The Inspector General" at the old Scala Theatre in the London borough of Camden. Via a stint with the Glasgow Repertory, she then made her way to Broadway , as an ageing spinster concocting the 'perfect' Soho bank heist.
Grandmother of Patrick Caddell and the actors Simon Cadell and Selina Cadell.
Grandmother-in-law of Michael Thomas and Rebecca Croft.
