Actress -- via the Guardian. AKA Renee Ascherson. She will be best remembered for her role as the French princess in Olivier's "Henry V" in 1944. However, her work on stage and screen is much broader. She was the first Stella in the London premiere of "A Streetcar Named Desire"; she appeared in B-movie classics such as "The Day the Earth Caught Fire" and "Rasputin: The Mad Monk." Her last role was the medium in the 2001 horor film "The Others." (Interesting fact: her mother and father were booked to take a honeymoon passage on the Titanic, but had to cancel. Whew!)
