Adrianne Allen
Delicately lovely British actress, primarily on stage in light, brittle comedy from the mid-1920s until the late 50s. After training at RADA, Allen made her London stage debut in Noel Coward's "Easy Virtue" in 1926. She often brought her intelligence and grace to the Broadway stage, in productions ranging from the mournful romance "Cynara" (1931) to the high period comedy "Pride and Prejudice" (1935) to the intense family saga "Edward, My Son" (1948). From the mid-40s on, Allen primarily played mother roles, like her matchmaker in "The Reluctant Debutante" (1956).
