Aileen Marson
Aileen Marson (13 September 1912 – 4 May 1939) was a British stage and film actress.[1] Born in Egypt where her father was a consular official with the diplomatic service, she travelled extensively due to her father's job (including a stay in Bucharest) and spoke five languages including Arabic. She came to England with her family when she was 13. Winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, she appeared in regional and West End plays, (including mounting her own productions), and also starred in a number of leading roles in British films.[2] She toured South Africa with Seymour Hicks where she met her husband, Jack Scott, a Johannesburg businessman, who she married in 1937. She died at the age of 26 in a London nursing home less than a day after giving birth to twins - a boy and a girl.
