Merle Oberon (19 February 1911 - 23 November 1979) was an Indian-born British actress. She began her film career in British films as Anne Boleyn in The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933). After her success in The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), she travelled to the United States to make films for Samuel Goldwyn. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in The Dark Angel (1935). A traffic collision in 1937 caused facial injuries that could have ended her career, but she soon followed this with her most renowned performance in Wuthering Heights (1939).
Estelle Merle Thompson was born in Bombay, British India on 19 February 1911. According to some sources, her birth name was Estelle Merle O'Brien Thompson. Merle was given "Queenie" as a nickname, in honour of Queen Mary, who visited India along with King George V in 1911.
Over the years, Oberon obscured her parentage. Some sources claim Merle's parents as Charlotte Selby, a Eurasian from Ceylon with partial Māori heritage, and Arthur Terrence O'Brien Thompson, a British mechanical engineer from Darlington, who worked in Indian Railways.

Genres: Action, Adventure, Animation, Comedy,Can we take the streets? Cause there's a horrible crash.
Standing on the highway, a girl and her dad.
You say yea, it's far too much for me,
Far too fast of scenery but your voice,
And your lips are moving words that I cannot breach the noise.
Just remember always move fast.
We know you, we own you.
Go home and leave me at the door or we can stay outside of your house
And just wait for the morning.
I heard you can't stay too long the morning's got you worried.
Because the sun holds a sea of troubles and an early drive away.
So I guess I'll just stay for a while I guess you knew just from how I smiled.
Because there's no hurry more like fucking nursery I'm a beautiful child.
Just remember always move fast.
We know you, we own you.
Go home and leave me at the door or we can stay outside of your house
And just wait for the morning.
I've seen your sadness grow.
And it swallows these days until it hurts to breathe.
She whispers, thanks for your time tonight,
But you are not awake yet you are not awake I swear.
She screams, it's all been in your dream with nothing tangible.
The girl, this house, the highway, your mind made it real.
