A stage actress from 1931, Linden Travers launched her film career in 1935. One of Travers best roles of the 1930s was as "Mrs." Todhunter, the mistress of philandering Cecil Parker, in Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes. Though the quality of her films would fluctuate, her high performance standards never varied. Arguably the best of her postwar films was Quartet (1948); unquestionably the worst was No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1947). Linden Travers was the sister of film favorite Bill Travers.
