  • Summary

  • Greer Garson was one of the most successful British actresses of the classic Hollywood studio era. 

    She was attractive, intelligent, hard working and talented. She appeared  in some of the best and most memorable Hollywood films ever made, including movies which inspired and strengthened the British and American War effort  during World War II.

    But Ms Garson's road to success was not an easy one.  Throughout her life and career, she battled mutiple health scares, anorexia, and troubled marriages, as well as studio bosses and the occaisional leading man, who resented her need to produce quality performances, or were simply keen to confine her to conveying a prim and proper image. 

    This episode, which marks the return after 3 long years of CHMTC and Mrs Classic Film Fan, tells the story of the life and career of a grand theatre and film actress, who beat all the competition around her and managed to leave Hollywood a star and in one piece-unlike so many others.
