Jennifer Hilary: stage actress who later moved into television Posted on August 24th
Jennifer Hilary was a beautiful actress of elegance, charm, innocence and
ethereal magic. She made her name in plays on the West End stage of the
1960s and 1970s that called out for real acting and got it. Later in the
Eighties and Nineties, except for Philip Prowse’s rediscovery of her at the
Glasgow Citizens’ in his 1999 revival of Coward’s Cavalcade,
she seemed inclined to fall back more and more on television and the cinema.
