Muriel Pavlow
Muriel Lilian Pavlow (27 June 1921 – 19 January 2019) was a British actress. Her mother was French and her father Russian.
Muriel was born in Lewisham, south-east London, to Boris Pavlov, a Russian émigré and salesman, and his French wife Germaine. They changed their name to Pavlow to sound more British. She grew up in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, and was educated at Colne Valley school in Rickmansworth and in Lausanne (Switzerland).
Pavlow began work as a child actress with John Gielgud and the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. She started acting at an early age and her first, brief, film appearance came at the age of 13 in the Gracie Fields morale-boosting musical Sing As We Go (1934).
In December 1937, at sixteen, she played the role of Gretel in a BBC Television production of Hansel and Gretel, a pioneer BBC television broadcast. She was able to claim, when in her 90s, that she had made the earliest TV appearance of anyone living.
This was followed by a role as a young girl in Dodie Smith's Dear Octopus (1938), with John Gielgud and Marie Tempest at the Queen's theatre, London.
During the Second World War, she was in ENSA and also made the crossover from theatre to screen. In 1941 she starred in John Van Druten's play Old Acquaintance in the West End.
Pavlow's film roles include Maria, the young Maltese woman, in Malta Story (1953), with Alec Guinness; Joy, the girlfriend of Simon Sparrow, in Doctor in the House (1954) and Thelma Bader, the wife of the fighter pilot Douglas Bader (played by Kenneth More) in Reach for the Sky (1956).
She co-starred on stage with Derek Farr in Odd Man In in 1957 and a Kenneth Horne comedy, Wolf's Clothing, in 1959. She made two trips to Australia, first in 1959–60, touring in Odd Man In, and secondly in 1964–65, again with Farr. She played the daughter of an irascible curmudgeon (played by fellow Doctor in the House cast member, James Robertson Justice) in Murder, She Said (1961).[citation needed]
