Margaret Rutherford

Margaret Rutherford

Highest Rated: 100% Murder at the Gallop (1963)

Lowest Rated: 0% The V.I.P.s (1963)

Birthday: May 11, 1892

Birthplace: Balham, London, England, UK

Gifted, endearing character player, in films since the mid-1930s. A master scene-stealer, Rutherford personified the eccentric English spinster in a number of famous comedies, including David Lean's classic "Blithe Spirit" (1945), as the enthusiastic, bicycle-riding psychic, Madame Arcati. In "The Happiest Days of Your Life" (1950), she teamed beautifully with Alistair Sim for a rollicking secondary school farce.
