Freda Jackson
Freda Maud Jackson (29 December 1907 - 20 October 1990) was an English stage actress who also worked in film and TV.
==Early career==
She made her stage debut on 1 January 1934, appearing at the Northampton Repertory Theatre in ''Sweet Lavender''.〔John Parker (ed), ''Who's Who in the Theatre'', 15th edition, Pitman Publishing 1972〕 After two years with the resident company there she first appeared in London on 13 July 1936 in ''The Sacred Flame'' at the Q Theatre, afterwards touring with Emlyn Williams in Williams' play ''Night Must Fall''. In 1938 she joined the Old Vic company, touring with them the following year in Europe and Egypt, and in 1940 she became part of the Stratford Memorial Theatre company.〔Parker, op cit〕 Her film debut was in ''Mountains o' Mourne'' in 1938; other early films included Powell and Pressburger's ''A Canterbury Tale'', Laurence Olivier's ''Henry V'' and David Lean's ''Great Expectations''.〔David Quinlan, ''The Illustrated Directory of Film Character Actors'', BT Batsford Ltd 1985〕
In July 1945 she scored a big personal success at the Embassy Theatre, playing the sadistic landlady Mrs Voray in Joan Temple's ''No Room at the Inn''.〔Anthony Hawtrey, 'Foreword', ''Embassy Successes II'', Sampson Low, Marston & Co 1946〕 She also starred in the play's West End transfer and in the 1948 film adaptation. Four years later she played a similar role, Mrs Allistair, in the stage and screen versions of Sylvia Rayman's ''Women of Twilight''.〔JP Wearing, ''The London Stage 1950–1959: A Calendar of Plays and Players'', Scarecrow Press 1993〕 "I wonder," she wrote in 1954, "if (fellow actors ) ever dreamed when we were treading the Shakespearean boards together at Stratford 14 years ago that their light-hearted Nerissa, Maria and Mrs Quickly would, in less years than it takes to say Sweeney Todd, be treading so heavily the darkest paths of crime - her name a horrid by-word, a source of cosy shudders ... Seriously though, dear public, you must please believe that I was not always so depraved a character."〔Freda Jackson, 'Saturnalia: Freda Jackson On - and Off - Stage', ''Curtain Up: The Only Repertory Theatre Magazine'' Vol 11 no 2, 26 April 1954〕
