Dame Anna Neagle DBE (1904-1986) was a major box-office draw in British cinema for 20 years and was voted the most popular star in Britain in 1949. She was known for providing glamour and sophistication to war-torn London audiences with her lightweight musicals, comedies, and historical dramas. Almost all of her films were produced and directed by Herbert Wilcox, whom she married in 1943. During the First World War Wilcox served with the Royal Flying Corps and fledgling RAF.
