Phyllis Calvert (18 February 1915 – 8 October 2002) was an English film, stage and television actress. She was one of the leading stars of the Gainsborough melodramas of the 1940s, and continued acting until some 50 years later.
Born Phyllis Hannah Bickle in Chelsea, she trained at the Margaret Morris School of Dancing and performed from the age of ten, gaining her first film role at the age of 12, in The Arcadians (1927), also known as The Land of Heart's Desire. Calvert performed in repertory theatre and in several films, before making her London stage debut in A Woman's Privilege in 1939. In 1942, she had the lead role as Patricia Graham in Terence Rattigan's Flare Path.
She first found success in the film adaptation of H. G. Wells' Kipps (1941), but it was the Gainsborough melodrama The Man in Grey (1943) that confirmed her status. During the following decade, she starred in many romances, including Fanny by Gaslight, with James Mason and Stewart Granger, and My Own True Love, becoming one of Britain's highest paid stars. However, three Hollywood studios failed to pay her what she asked.

A tribute to one of England's top actresses during the 1940s. Phyllis Calvert was a household name in Britain, mostly thanks to her starring roles in many of the Gainsborough melodramas of the Second World War. Less known in America, and virtually forgotten today, she was a lovely actress with one of those plummy English accents you just don't seem to hear anymore.
